The Week in Wrigleyville S-12 #1

TRADES
The HELENA BARKING MOONBATS traded Tracy Gardner to the MEMPHIS BLUES for Roy Mills
Helena gets a prospect and Memphis picks up some bench help


The HELENA BARKING MOONBATS traded Derrin Price to the CHARLOTTE CHIMPS for Edgar Reynoso
Charlotte picks up a Setup/Closer and the Moonbats get a potential nice CF'er


The TAMPA BAY STARS traded Jake Womack to the ALBUQUERQUE TURKEYS for Josh Wilson and Pascual Vargas
The Turkeys needed a Proven Starting pitcher and payed Tampa with the 8th overall pick in the S-11 Draft. And Jared threw in a power bat to grease the wheels.

The CHICAGO AZTECS traded Polin Rosado to the PORTLAND PANDEMONIUM for J.T. Ramsey
The Aztecs needed some fielding help and traded a AAA bullpen guy for Ramsey

M L INJURIES
Edgar Flores
This Aztec pitcher is ready to come off the DL after a little shoulder tendinitis.

Daryl Lee
This Salem Pitcher will miss another week with a shoulder strain.

Bobby Ray Snyder
This Posse Catcher is almost ready to come off the DL. He suffered a Strained Hammy. Hmmm....A player with three names could be an assassin. i e --John Wilkes Booth,Lee Harvey Oswald.

Dennis Burke
Old Dennis Burke was picked up off the Free Agent Scrap heap and promptly goes on the DL.He should be ready to play for the turkeys in a week.

Homer Miclat
This Portland Pitcher will miss another week with a forearm cramp. But its not his injury that is the news. Its his name !! A Pitcher named Homer??? In other news Homer and his lovely Bride have just annouced the birth of their twin Boys ...Balk and Walk

Armando Ortega
This Chicago 3rd baseman is out 3 months with forearm nerve irritation. He may be irritated when Kumbia refuses to resign him. Looks like the F/A market for Ortega.

Jae Kojima
Another Pandemonium pitcher on the DL. He will miss another week with a Forearm tear. Good thing it wasn't torn clean off!!

Nigel Hasegawa
This Salem player will is on the 60 DL with a stiff Oblique. Gene probably hit him with a Crowbar from Tilly Island(CRD Joke)

Kevin Martin
This Christian Beaver pitcher will miss several weeks with shoulder tendinitis. What is strange about this player, is his name. How many Martin families are from Japan???
