White Sox accept.  Just routine purge of future talent for now production.  I have some concerns about Duvall being hurt.  I dont think he can replicate his early season production.  Will be burned if I am wrong though.  Cimber is on the shelf right now but should be back soon.  Had to include him to absorb Merrifields contract.  The three prospects all have their upside, and warts.  Mainly a move because I have been hammered with the injury bug and need Merrifield's versatility and at bats.  He is one of those players who wont hurt you, and I need to fill some holes.  

Thanks Tim for the easy talks.

Phillies accept.

Merrifield is playing well currently, but not sure it is up to his contract.

Duvall will hopefully pick up where he left off once he recovers from the wrist injury.
Hopefully Cimber can improve his relief appearances after his rehab stint.
Saggese shows potential, excited for his progression.
Alexander is a little older for AAA, but his bat has shown some power.
Klein throws hard but needs to work on his other pitches as he matures.

Merrifield has been dropped on Fantrax.

Thanks Michael for the easy trade talks.
