Cincinatti Picked up "Call A" Doc Hampton fresh of his D L stay. San Francisco gets a Nice defensive prospect that will hit against lefties.Mark loves them Shortstops!

The AUSTIN CITY LIMITS traded Yannick Earley to the LOUISVILLE HOWLERS for Jumbo MacFarlane
Louisville picks up Yannick Earley "Exit" who looks like a great slugging RF'er. But then you see his Health projection and your stomach turns.Austin gets Jumbo "Big Mac" MacFarlane ,Pink Slime and all. He just came off the DL which caused his stock to fall.  

The SAN DIEGO SALMON BELLIES traded Miguel Duran and Hi Scelfo to the LOUISVILLE HOWLERS for Tomas Cruz and Livan Bonilla and 1,900,000
The Howlers continue the Fire sale by shipping off a couple more pitchers and a couple million to San Diego.This  bought the Howlers 2 nice prospects.Works for both!

The COLORADO SPRINGS BANDITS traded Quilvio Belliard to the FARGO PRAIRIE DOGS for Kelvin George
The Bandits get a nice hitting prospect that was languishing in the Prairie Dogs AAA squad. The Dogs get a better defensive prospect.

The SAN FRANCISCO KICKAPOOS traded Chad Jones and Chris Everett to the MINNESOTA MISFITS for Omar Perez
Perhaps the Misfits are throwing in the Towel. Minnesota ships one of their Free Agent aquisition to the Kickapoos for 2 prospects.


M L INJURIES
Buddy McConnell
Buddy "Epsom Salt" McConnell will be soaking his Elbow for most of the year.Hatton will be soaking his head for picking him in the R-5. He did eat some innings while the Sometimes continue rebuilding. So dry your hair Hatton, things will get better. 

Tony Matos
Tony "Nothing" Matos has been suprisingly injury free for 3 seasons and Mdymond took a second chance on him. Now he goes out for two weeks with a partial torn something in his forearm.Mdymond was asked about the injury and he replied. "Fuuuugettaboutit, It was nuttunn."

Endy Glynn
Hshack re-signed Endy "of the Road" Glynn for 1 year 1.4 million. Now he will undergo Elbow surgery and miss the rest of the year. Its the end of the road for Endy!

Geronimo Cruz
Geronimo "Cannonball" Cruz will miss 6 months with Elbow Surgery. Daddio must be shellshocked after trading for this player. If its any consolation to Daddio, the player he traded for the Cannonball ( Claude Coleman) hasn't panned out for the Misfits .
