In a move designed to help the Blazers this year, and beyond, the team acquired Jesus Ramos from LV for a couple of minor league prospects. The three tim all-star brings a power sinker, and a knee buckling curve with him to the mound. It's no secret the Blazers have been searching for another starter for a while now and are very happy to have picked up the right hander. "He fits well into our contending window. We really like the direction our rotation is heading, this year and beyond," said GM Callahan. He didn't say it, but the GM was referring to the possible addition to the rotation next year of Aki Kondo, who was acquired in the infamous Gillstrom trade. If Kondo is ready next season it would give the Blazers a great young core of starting pitching. He would join ace Jubal Troop, and knuckleballer Manuel Pena to form an exciting trio of potential stars. Ramos adds a nice veteran presence to this rotation, and will be counted on to provide stability to the 'young guns' as they develop into legitimate major league pitchers.
