THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 25 #2

TRADES

The ARIZONA COBRAS traded Anibal Tavarez to the AUGUSTA NORTHMEN for Phillip Mayer
Swish picks up a very nice CF prospect for the future. And the Northmen get a very good bullpen arm that has been Arb'ed three times. He will be in the free agent market next year. In a nutshell, Augusta gave up a good young prospect  for the use of Tavarez this year. Avantrael is in a win now mode.


The TAMPA BAY RAYS traded Ryan Monroe and 1,900,000 to the MADISON MUSKELLUNGES for Buck Floyd and Andres Trevino
Madison gets a Power bat . Tampa picks up some youngsters and sheds a 3 year contract.This trade is good for both teams.


The TAMPA BAY RAYS traded Junior Sano , Skip Knotts and Albert Espinoza to the AUGUSTA NORTHMEN for Chip Bailes , John Byrd and Francisco Campos
Tampa picked up 3 prospects to help with the re-build and jettisoned more contracts. Avantrael continues to improve his pitching staff. He grabbed a very tasty pitching prospect (Sano) and a couple overpriced players. At first glance I thought Svick was  shave your head, flash your junk, crooked face crazy for trading Sano.  But as I looked closer, he really wants out of some bad contracts. So no crazy here, maybe just a tad Mad! 

M L INJURIES

Harry Padilla
Harry "I" Padilla will miss 2 months with a broken hand. Do you have a App for that?

Clayton Bragg
Clayton "I don't Wanna" Bragg is gonna miss 2 months with a torn ligament in his shoulder. He don't wanna Smoke what Charleston is rolling.

Cesar "Cuisine" Berroa will be out 2 months with a sore rotator cuff. Maybe for the best...Hitters feasted on his meatballs. 

Reese McGee
Scottsdale player Reese "Fibber" McGee will miss 2 weeks with a tight and stiff Groin. To be truthful a stiff tight groin is a daily occurrence in Madmuldoons World. 

Kiki Fernandez
Kiki " Kinky" Fernandez will miss 2 months with a Torn Groin. The Legion is getting their freak on!

Santiago Rodriguez
Santiago Rodriguez is gone for the rest of the year with a torn hammy.No big deal for the Kickapoos.

Gerardo Martinez
Gerardo "GM" Martinez is back on the DL. This time it's a sore hip and he will miss 2 weeks. Looks like this Gold Glover's drive train is wearing out.

Eddie Locke
It's been a long time since we've seen Eddie 'Dread" Locke on the DL. Now with the P-Dogs, Dread Locke will miss 2 weeks due to a non-baseball injury. Word has it he was poisoned on a fishing trip to West Virginia. He ate some licorice tasting fish.

Joe Valdes
Another long time no see. DL darling, Joe "Momma" Valdes  returns with back spasms and will be out 2 weeks. Like I've said before, there isn't a part of Joe Momma that hasn't been injured. Makes you want to curl up in a ball and suck your thumb while being spanked by a 300 pound hooker named Gertrude. Oh Momma!!

Don Nelson
One of the greatest pitchers in Wrigleyville history lands on the DL. Don "Lord" Nelson will miss 2 months with a sore shoulder.Lord knows It would be nice if Nelson makes it back for a playoff run.That is up to the Blues making it to the post-season.
