THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 25 #6

TRADES
The CHEYENNE BAGWELL BASHERS traded Billy Ensberg and 5,000,000 to the MADISON MUSKELLUNGES for Charles Scott , Jesus Rodriguez and Carlton Sheets
Billy's huge contract doesn't scare Daddio. He wanted one of his favorite players back even at 20 million a year . Cheyenne picked up 2 very nice prospects and a position player who hits in the .270's with 20+ homers. I think maybe the Muskies were the only team willing to take Ensberg and his big contract. We do get attached to our star players. So Madison is happy and I'm sure Cheyenne is happy...Everybody's happy!! Happy!! ............Happy!!!!.....everybody get up and be Happy!!!


The MADISON MUSKELLUNGES traded Ryan Monroe to the LOUISVILLE REDTAILS for Gene Murphy and Donaldo Balboa
Looks like Madison is shedding some salary by trading a 5 million dollar catcher, that was playing 1st base. He was expendable with Billy coming back home. The Redtails gave up 2 pretty good prospects and get a good bat for the stretch.


The CINCINNATI RED LIGHT DISTRICTS traded Theo Walters to the LITTLE ROCK MOONSHINERS for Jim Parker and 100,000
I think this trade is about the 100 grand. Perhaps jeff needed some cap for a promotion. He does have the highest cap and money is tight. 


The SAN FRANCISCO KICKAPOOS traded Kosuke Wang , Rocco Spilborghs and Yamil Amaro to the CHICAGO LEGION for Buddy Koloff , Odalis Suarez , Jamie Bradley and 1,300,000
This trade sets up the Kicapoos for next year. They will be a beast in the coming years. Chicago picked up a couple bluechip prospects that still need a couple years in the farm system. 2 new managers helping each other out...Nice!


The SALEM SALMONBELLIES traded Duane Brignac to the CINCINNATI RED LIGHT DISTRICTS for Timothy LeCroy
The Red Light districts pick up a utility guy that was stuck in AAA limbo. He should get some playing time if Jeff rests some guys for the post-season. Mdymond gets a pitching prospect with a killer fastball.


M L INJURIES

Ryan Buck
Ryan "Spend a " Buck got the call-up earlier this year to eat some innings. Now he will be sitting at home spending that promotion cash for 2 weeks, after he strained his shoulder. He is one a few DITR's to get a shot at the majors and some money. 


Tim Oliver
Tim "Martini" Oliver is going to miss the rest of the year with a elbow strain. He took a pay cut in free agency this year. Maybe he was a little shaken not stirred up. 


Floyd McAnaney
The Black Bear defensive machine, Floyd  "the Droid" McAnaney is back on the DL. A broken clavicle will keep him out the rest of the season and most of the post-season. Olemiss is going to ....well.....miss this gold glover in Center Field. 


Kyle Romero
Kyle "When In" Romero was brought in to take Jmuhtoffs RedTails to the next level. His 2 week injury is par for this years problems. His putts have been more Out than In. 


Chris James
This one really, Really hurts! 20 million dollar Chris "PY" James is toast. He will be out for 7 months with shoulder surgery. The Pirates season is getting Burned by the DL Monster.


Nolan Adams
For the second time this year ,Nolan "Grizzly" Adams is on the DL. His stiff neck is becoming a bear of a problem.
