THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 25 #1

TRADES

NO trades this week.

M L INJURIES

Clarence Aubrey
Clarence "Sale" Aubrey is gonna miss a couple weeks with a strained MCL. He's a bargain at 360k but he will get fat stacks of cash after his Arb years are over. 


Alexi Hernandez
Augusta's defensive CF'er will only miss 2 weeks with a tight Quad. Luckily he didn't take a hit on his defensive numbers. He will continue to be a  defensive shinning star in the Northmen outfield.


Chris Scott
Welcome a future DL darling to Wrigleyville. Chris "Krinkled" Scott is on the DL with a strained oblique and will miss 2 weeks. With a mid 30's health rating its a miracle he hasn't been injured sooner. Merry Christmas. 


Esmailyn Maduro
Esmailyn "E-Mail" Maduro will be out a month with a bulging disk in his neck. Not a good start for last years Black Sox back-up catcher, who is getting to start this year.Could be Spam!

Haywood Stanley
No reason why this guy should be pitching in the Bigs. Hello Stanley!!


Corey Quinn
Corey "Algon" Quinn will miss 2 months with a sore shoulder. This guy may never hit a home run but he is a warrior on the base path. 


Virgil Ramirez
Virgil "Earp" Ramirez is going to miss 3 months with elbow tendinitis. I wrote in Season 23: "I called Virgil "Earp" Ramirez a bum last year. And he continues his Bumness with a 3 week stay on the DL. He dislocated a shoulder, and as soon as he locates it, he will be back on the mound for the Bleacher Bums. This is not O.K. Earp!"  Now he's the Prairie Dogs Bum. And will cost 10.7 million this year......Bummer!


Stan Knight
Stan "Wee" Knight is out 2 months with a bulging disk. This little guy is in the last year of his contract with the City Limits. His paycheck will be smaller next year.
