Joe Blanton Traded To The Phillies For Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman, And Matt Spencer

Adrian Cardenas is drafted by the Phillies in the supplemental round (37th overall pick) of the 2006 MLB Draft. Cardenas was noticed by scouts who were scouting teammate Chris Marrero and many came away even more impressed with Cardenas. He could be moved to second base in the pros.

Bloggers comment on internet about the Adrian Cardenas trade saying "If you were wondering like I was why Adrian Cardenas and Matt Spencer were not in the lineup for the first game of the DH at Brevard County tonight, one need only look to mlb.com for the answer.
