...for Jose Almonte (20 year old high-A pitcher) and Luis Alejandro Basabe (high-A 2b).
I've liked Ziegler since he was in the minors and used to correspond with the Athletics Nation blog. He's a FA at the end of the year. He's a submariner.
He's had a bit of a down year, but is still pretty effective. Lefties are OPSing .788 against him this year, which is not much worse than his career mark (.764), so proceed with caution.
Edit: This trade breaks up the Basabe twins, so I hope Luis Alexander (not traded) doesn't suffer without his brother Luis Alejandro (traded) around.
