Braves add pitching prospect Redmond: Right-hander Tyler Yates, a hard-throwing reliever who probably wasn't going to make the Braves' opening day roster, was traded Wednesday to the Pirates for Double-A right-hander Todd Redmond. "We were in a predicament and we got a nice prospect," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "It's good for them, good for us." (Updated 03/26/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The 22-year-old Redmond was one of the Pirates' few prospects at the Double-A level, but struggled in 2007 by going 8-13 with a 4.39 ERA in 28 starts at Double-A Altoona and Class A Lynchburg. If he reaches the majors some day, he expects to be a No. 4 or No. 5 starter. Consider him nothing more than a long-term prospect flier at this point. (Updated 03/26/2008).
