THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE S-9 #5

TRADES
The MEMPHIS BLUES traded Tony Duncan to the PORTLAND PANDEMONIUM for Tommy Peterman and Allen Garcia
Portland gets a good CF'er who can hit and Memphis gets a future Cy-Young winner, the overall #1 pick in from the S-7 Draft . And a Career AAA utility player. To get a solid Cf'er you sometimes have to pay dearly and Portland did hope it works out. I know Memphis will be happy in a couple years.


The PORTLAND PANDEMONIUM traded Duffy Peterman to the CHICAGO AZTECS for Vern May and Orlando Lee
Since Portland Traded for a Solid CF'er , They had a nice young unproven CF'er to trade . And Chicago scarffed him up. In return for their youngster Portland recieved a AAA SS who can help defensivly when rosters expand, And a young #4 or #5 SP'er .
  
The ALBUQUERQUE TURKEYS traded Eduardo Sanchez to the TAMPA BAY STARS for Al Fernandez
Tampa gets a veteran setup pitcher and the Turkeys get a young CF'er who may get a shot at the Bigs.

A solid minor league pitcher who could help in the bigs once in a while.

Virgil Guerrero Fargo Prairie Dogs Age: 19 B/T: R/R Born: Ramon Santana, DO Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Fargo picked up this nice young SS from the Islands for a measley 3 Mill. Great defensive numbers and health means he will play in the Bigs. and add good Contact and Eye with average splits and he may have a decent career. A steal for 3 mil

A career Minor Leaguer for the Injuns!!

Tony Aguilar Vancouver Totems Age: 22 B/T: R/R Born: Hatillo Palma, DO Position(s): P (P) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Lets see....I had a cool mil left in my prospect budget .So i threw it at this pitcher with a ST invite and  he is now a Totem . He may get a shot at the bigs during this years roster expansion.

Jeffrey Moreno Cincinnati Howlers Age: 20 B/T: S/R Born: Gustavsberg, SE Position(s): P (SP2) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

The Howlers signed this fine looking SP'er for a bonus of  7.4 mil. Nice price for a very good future major Leaguer. Great Control ,Stamina and 3 ML pitches could make him a star??

Edgar Guzman Jacksonville Manatees Age: 20 B/T: L/L Born: Palenque, DO Position(s): 1B/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

The Manatee's are going for the bats. This young future DH will  be a hitting machine .He will not hit as many homers as some DH'es but right hand pitchers won't have a prayer.

Julio Fuentes New York Highlanders Age: 18 B/T: L/L Born: San Francisco De Macoris, DO Position(s): P (SP2) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

The Highlanders picked up a future super star pitcher witha signing bonus of  11.3 mil. Fuentes has good stamina ,control ,splits and three pitches in the 80's. One of the best so far indeed!!

Benji Urbina Memphis Blues Age: 20 B/T: L/L Born: Banes, CU Position(s): P (none) View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Memphis replaces Gomez with a much better pitcher. Really this pickup for 360K is a very good deal. Could be a fill in in the Majors??
