Travis Snider: Traded To Orioles

Snider was traded to the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for Stephen Tarpley and a player to be named later, Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan reports.

Analysis:

It has been a very bumpy ride for Snider, as he is now on his third team since being a consensus top-10 prospect in baseball prior to the 2009 season. Snider could not be going to a better situation, since the Orioles were planning on giving a lot of at-bats to Alejandro De Aza, Steve Pearce and Delmon Young, so if he performs, he should be able to get a few starts each week. He hit 13 home runs with a .264/.338/.438 slash line in 359 plate appearances last season for the Pirates, so there could be some value here in deeper leagues.
