THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE S-18 #6

TRADES
The SAN FRANCISCO KICKAPOOS traded Omar Perez , Peter Hodges , Glen Swann to the SCOTTSDALE SHOCK SQUAD for Marty Allen and Chien-Ming Dong
The Kickapoos continue their wheeling and Dealing before the deadline. Mark shipped a player that he aquired from Minnesota and a player he aquired from Durham and a player he aquired from Tampa to the Shocksquad.
The Shocksquad sent the 2 time MVP Allen and a bullpen pitcher that I later claimed off the Wire. Nice!! Mark traded 3 trade pickups for one of the best hitters in the league.

 The AUSTIN CITY LIMITS traded Cedrick Meyers and Elvis Holtz to the LOUISVILLE HOWLERS for Rick Reagan
Austin gets a All-Star LF'er with health issues. Louisville gets a couple nice prospects.

The ARIZONA COBRAS traded Xavier Cain to the LOUISVILLE HOWLERS for Rich Ward
Louisville gets a Defensive prospect who can't hit a lick.Arizona gets a old, old player. 

The DURHAM BULLSHIPPERS traded Alex Cornelius to the SALEM SALMONBELLIES for Charley Tenbrink , Esteban Guzman and  Julio Johnson
Salem gets a former #2 pick overall who was promoted to the bigs too soon.Durham gets 3 very nice young players.Cornelius wasn't cheap.

The SAN FRANCISCO KICKAPOOS traded Pep Handworth , Rene Walker and Charlie Forster to the MINNESOTA MISFITS for Davey Wise
The Kickapoos get a very nice setup guy, former 9th overall pick.Minnesota gets 3 prospects for the future.

The SAN FRANCISCO KICKAPOOS traded Julio Tavarez to the LOUISVILLE HOWLERS for Billy Tenbrink
The Kickapoos get another nice setup guy.Louisville gets....well.... not much. Taverez was a former 5th round pick.

The Crabbers were glad this injury wasn't to serious.A strained shoulder kept this Player of the week out for 2 weeks. He is already back on the mound mowing them down.

Sandy Hiatt
When Sandy "In My Crack" Hiatt went down last season I wrote this ."nwsheehy007 took another gamble on a sickly player. And..well......2-1/2 months with elbow tendinitis He only has 3 more years at 6.3 million per, left on his contract"  He will miss 5 months with a labrum tear. Only 2 more years on his contract!!

J.B. Battle
J.B. "Final" Battle will miss a month with a Elbow strain.This is not what the Toyotas had in mind when they traded for this shutdown bullpen pitcher.
