From MLB.com?s Brian McTaggart?comes word that the Astros have acquired offensive prospects Bobby Borchering and Marc Krauss from the Diamondbacks for third baseman Chris Johnson.
At first glance, it?s another crafty deal for Astros GM Jeff Luhnow. Johnson had a nice showing in his first real chunk of major league playing time back in 2010, but the 27-year-old owns a .314 career on-base percentage and he doesn?t play great defense.
Borchering, meanwhile, has slugged 61 home runs in his first 394 major league games. The 21-year-old third baseman and corner outfielder was the 16th overall pick in the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft. Krauss, a second-round pick in that ?09 draft, has a .924 OPS and 15 homers in 434 plate appearances this year in Double-A. He has a slugger?s profile.
Johnson will take over as Arizona?s primary third baseman. Ryan Roberts was recently traded to the Rays.
