Rays are looking to shed some vets and Fairbanks seems like an obvious candidate. He missed a lot of time due to various minor injuries last year, and the Rays Pen improved over time with new blood. Fairbanks plays best in hotter temps, so Arizona (which had the 22nd best Pen last year) is a good fit. In return for Fairbanks, Arizona gives up a backup catching prospect (which the Rays desperately need), and a SP and RP pitching prospect.
I like this a lot. Sims is a great addition too. Lots of K's, but he should have lots of Ks being a 2nd rounder out of the SEC. AA this year will determine his stock, so I like you adding him before he got there.
I was high on Sims at draff time, and would love to see the Rays acquire him somehow.

I've been wanting Del Castillo for several years but I don't they'll trade him after the past 2 years, his numbers are crazy, if I was them I'd try him at 1B too
They may need a 1B by OD. Still, outside looking in they need pitching help and Fairbanks is a pretty good pitcher, particularly at less than $4MM per year.
