THE WEEK IN WRIGLEYVILLE SEASON 27 #6

TRADES
The WICHITA WIND SIZZLERS traded Paulie Nitkowski and 100,000 to the VANCOUVER BLITZ for Bubba Cromer
Nothing here but a 100,000 dollars changing hands. 


M L INJURIES
Dewey Sabel
Dewey "Mercury" Sabel tweaked his hammy and will miss 2 weeks.  TC will want to get him back in the line-up fast.


Rafael Pena
Rafael "State" Pena will miss the rest of the season with elbow surgery. You can pretty much lock up his career and throw away the key.


Yorvit Franco
Yorvit "or my Feet" Franco has a sore shoulder and will be sidelined for a couple weeks. Mdymond will want to get his feet back on the mound soon, for the stretch run. 


Paul Tomko
The elbow went on Paul " Beaerer" Tomko's throwing arm. He will be out the rest of this year and some of next year. It's almost too much to bear and Hacker will have to wrestle with the idea of bringing him back next year.
