[edit] Question on final section

The final passage says "On June 9, 1998, Smith was traded to the minor league system of the Baltimore Orioles for minor leaguer, Eric Estes. He played his final game on September 24, 1998. He earned a career ERA of 4.55, striking out 640 batters. Smith also pitched 4 shutouts throughout his major league career." Although it's not sourced, I think a source can be found, but I still have a few questions. First, I don't believe that someone can be traded to a "minor league system". He was likely traded to the Orioles organization, where they can then play him within any of their A, AA, AAA or MLB teams. Also, it sort of implies that his "last game" was in the minors? Can someone clarify this? Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 13:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
