Gross Traded for A+ Minor Leaguer

Less than 15 minutes after scoring the winning run in a 12 inning affair, Gabe Gross was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league pitcher Josh Butler. I don't really care for the deal as the Brewers really got nothing in the deal. Butler is more than a couple of years away and may not even make the bigs, but here is his scouting report at a Rays minor league site.

And for those who don't think Gabe Gross is a good ball player, let's check his stats out as he rolls against right handers on a young TB team. I have a feeling we'll miss his OBP in the end, unless Gwynn can figure out that strike zone.
