TRADES

The SAN JUAN SANTURCE CRABBERS traded Willie Alonso and Del Martin to the MINNESOTA MISFITS for Pascual Vargas
Minnesota gets a sugging prospect and a M L setup guy. The Crabbers pick up a very nice young starting pitcher.

Arizona gets 2 long winded starting pitchers capable of throwing 200+ innings a year. Atlanta picks up a Starting pitcher with better pitches.

M L INJURIES
Matty Guerrero
This Salmonbelly pitching prospect has some great numbers, except for stamina. Now he will miss the rest of the season with elbow surgery.

Vic Armas
This Austin setup guy is a carbon copy of Guerrero above. Vic "Tim" Armas will also miss the rest of the season , but with shoulder surgery

Ernest Davenport
Ernest "The Couch" Davenport  may have done the Crushers a favor by going on the DL. That may be why he hasn't been activated yet.

J.J. Melhuse
This Witchita Pitcher has struggled in the Majors. JJ Melhuse "place" will miss 2 months

Victor Rodriguez
Say goodbye to Victor . He''ll retire and go back to the islands. Perhaps we will see him as a coach?? 

Dallas Carlyle
Poor Madison, OUCH!. This ones gonna leave a mark. It's shoulder surgery for Dallas "Does the DL" Carlyle and he will miss the rest of the season.This slugger may be traded next year??

Oswaldo Silva
This defensive substitute will miss 2 months.

Ernest Truman
Earnest "Money" Truman is a DL darling. This Bad Penny will miss the rest of the regular season with a broken arm. I've decided to change his nickname from Money to NOT!!
