The LOUISVILLE HOWLERS traded Christy Crawford to the FARGO PRAIRIE DOGS for Virgil Guerrero
The  P-Dogs get a DITR that has some defensive skills. The Howlers get a good defensive player in his prime.

M L INJURIES
Trent Kingston
This former AAA rookie of the year had a sore Hammy. He is back on the team and doing just fine for Colorado Springs.But theres a dark cloud forming over the Springs.

Davey Solano
It's been a whirlwind season for Davey "So-So" Solano. So he was on the AAA DL. So then after he recovered the P-Dogs called him up .So now he's back on the DL. So that 33 health rating makes him Iffy at best!

Virgil Siqueiros
Virgil "That was" Siqueiros will spend 2 months on the DL with elbow tendinitis.This Tabaky Farmer has been a solid bullpen guy and will be missed.

Joe Valdes
There's a bug going around in the Springs. Joe Valdes went on the 15-day DL with a bum Hammy. Maybe its the swine flu tearing up the Hammys.

Eric Durham
This Crusher suffered a dislocated shoulder. He will return in 2 weeks and should be put right back in.He's a very good bullpen guy.

Del Bonilla
Yep...theres pestilence in Colorado Springs. Del "bad to the" Bonilla has a stiff groin and will miss 2 weeks. Stiff hammys and groins are a-plenty in the Springs.

Terry Oliver
Terry "Cloth" Oliver is back on the DL for the first time in the Majors. He was a AAA DL Darling before signing a 3 year 14.4 million dollar free agent contract this year. He will be back with the Posse in 3 weeks after his bulging disc heals.

Alex O'Donnell
Alex O'Donnell doesn't like his demotion to AAA. It's the second time he has been on the DL since he was sent down. Sending a message to Wylie, me thinks!!

Diego Arredondo

Diego "DA" Arrendondo is going under the knife and will miss 3 months.The Moonbats will miss their chief Prosecutor in the pen.Sordie will need this guy back if he intends on going deep in the postseason.


Buster O'Connor
Buster "Cherry" O'Conner fits in with the Red Light Districts. They are a bunch of degenerates and have a infamous reputation. Buster Cherry will miss 2 weeks with a sprained elbow.

Placido Cruz
O K , someone quarantine the Colorado Springs Bandits. This time its a ankle sprain and the commish has forbid any trading with Colrado Springs Club. We don't want a World Wide Pandemic.

Jim Roundtree
The Bleacher Bums will lose Jim "Merry Go" Roundtree for 2 weeks with a forearm cramp.he is in the second year of a 4 year 25.2 million dollar free agent contract.This guy loves to run around the bases.

Steve Henderson
The Howlers R-5 pick-up has a straind MCL. He will miss a month and luckily didn't take a big hit on his projections.

Andres Ferrer
Oh lord!! The big one just hit Chicago.The tremors will be felt for awhile in the windy city. The Bleacher Bums lost Andres "Fault" Ferrer for the rest of the year with a stress fractured elbow.
