12:31pm: Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus says Diaz is a very good defender who doesn't hit much. He says Strickland is a projectable righty with a fastball around 90 mph and average secondary stuff.

12:21pm: Ben Badler of Baseball America says the pair of prospects isn't much, not that the Pirates should expect more for two months of LaRoche.

12:05pm: Speier reports that the Pirates receive pitcher Hunter Strickland and shortstop Argenis Diaz.

I think the Red Sox are getting a really good deal. If LaRoche does what he statistically is capable of in the 2nd half, the Sox get not only good offense, but he will also be a Type B Free Agent giving them a draft pick from the team that signs him. So if all goes well for the Sox it will be a 2 month rental of LaRoche + draft pick for 2 prospects that were never going to be MLB players.
