THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE S-23 #3

TRADES

The LOUISVILLE REDTAILS traded Byron Weathers and 2,000,000 to the SANTA FE BLUES for Chun-Lim Yang
Weathers was a bust in Louisville so he was shipped to Santa Fe to help out the Blues offense. The former ROY will help put some crooked numbers on the scoreboard. Yang was expendable after many the free agents pitchers were signed in the off-season. He should eat some innings in Louisville and maybe the change will boost his career numbers. This trade helped the needs of both teams.


The SAN FRANCISCO KICKAPOOS traded Wesley Goodwin and 500,000 to the JACKSON BLACK BEARS for Dave Moore
Jackson picks up a one of the best all-around 3rd basemen in Wrigleyville. He should be a veteran influence for a young, up and coming, Black Bear team. Moore was Jacksons 1st round pick in season 21 and the Kickapoos continue to add great prospects for the future. This trade makes sense for both teams. One re-building and another building a playoff juggernaught. 

M L INJURIES


Dick Badenhop
Dick "Took A" Badenhop is a classic Misfit in name and  DL tradition. He just signed a new 4 year 20 million dollar contract and will miss 2 weeks with a strained Hammy. Thats gonna leave a Badenhop mark.


Danny Barker
Danny "No Bite"  Barker will miss 2 months with a sore shoulder. The WingDings are still waiting for this kid to stop barking and bite someone. Goldenbaer says "Bite Me Barker"


Jim Speaker
Shoulder tendinitis will keep Jim "Low" Speaker out for 2 weeks. When I asked him how he felt pitching for the Crabbers he replied " Mfmph harunpf" . Speak up Speaker!


Ivan Troncoso
Ivan "Costco" Troncoso sprained his MCL and will miss 2 weeks. Costco Troncoso has played the Bulk of his time at SS and  has been solid. He's a Bargain at 6 million when healthy. 


Kendry Bocachica
Kendry Bocachica is a nice DH and now he's out 2 weeks with a strained tummy. The Prairie Dogs will make do until he returns.


William Tabaka
William "Smokeless" Tabaka is back to DL Darling ways.He may miss the rest of the season with nerve irritation. This will get Nwsheehy smoking hot, he still owes Tabaka another 5 mill next season.


Eric Howell
Eric "sorrowful" Howell will miss the rest of the year with a torn hammy. His only value was his defensive skills and they took a big hit. Eric will be crying in the minor leagues..... IF .....he comes back.Theres no crying in Baseball!!


Yannick Earley
Yannick "Panic" Earley is also back to his DL Darling ways. He will miss the rest of the year with a torn hammy. Look for panic sale on Earley's future in Cincy.


Diego Acosta
Diego "Pacific" Acosta will miss 3 weeks with a strained hammy. The Bandits will want to get this 4 tool player back on the field as soon as possible. Next year is the last year of arb and he could be a risky long-term signing? Diego and ressda may be Oceans apart on his asking price.


Rob McNamara
Rob "In the Hood" McNamara hurt my chances for a good season. He was my best long reliever and will be missed for 2 months with elbow tendinitis. I may have to rob my minors to help my poor pitching staff.
