Pitching Change.

David Pauley, who was kicked off the forty man to make room for John Smoltz, has been traded to the Orioles for Randor Bierd. Bierd throws a low-nineties fastball, a low eighties slider, and a Pedro-inspired low-eighties change-up. He's also got above-average control.

Meanwhile, Pauley's roommate, Charlie Zink, has decided to hold off on becoming a full-time architect (or possibly architecture student) for at least another year. Zink, who was DFA'd to make room for Rocco Baldelli, has re-signed with the Red Sox.
