Walters Traded

Obviously by now most of you have heard that Zach Walters was traded yesterday to the Washington Nationals organization in exchange for Major League pitcher Jason Marquis.  The full story can be found on www.silverhawks.com in the headlines section.

South Bend is expected to announce a corresponding move tomorrow.

This is a huge blow to the team offensively.  Already struggling to score runs, the Diamondbacks just traded away the best offensive player for the Silver Hawks.  However, as we all know, winning at the big league level takes precedent over winning in single-A and these things happen from time to time.  Now, more than ever, the other players need to take a look around and figure out who is going to step up and lead this team.
