South Kitsap High School graduate Aaron Cunningham will make the fourth start of his professional career this year. As ESPN.com reported, Cunningham was traded Friday from Oakland along with Scott Hairston to San Diego for third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff.

Cunningham, 23, was drafted in the sixth round by the Chicago White Sox in 2005 out of Everett Community College. He was traded in 2007 to Arizona for infielder Danny Richar and then dealt later that year, along with five other players, to the A’s for all-star pitcher Dan Haren and reliever Connor Robertson.

Cunningham hit just .151 in 53 at-bats with Oakland last season, but said he told the Independent some of that was the result of a separated right shoulder he suffered during a home-plate collision in April with Jeff Clement.
