Honey Nut Ichiros sends Matt Capps to Hit Men for Pat Neshek

god i wish i was in this league....

Corporal Punishers send Josh Hamilton to 161st & River for Ichiro Suzuki

This trade should work for both teams with the Punishers improving their running game and 161st & River gaining in Dingers and RBI's

Did the Destroyers figure out a way to plug Owings into a DH spot?

hahahahaa

News from the free agent pool.

Horrible in April (Previously 161st & River) picked up J.J. Putz from waivers who was dropped by Calapooia River Rats (to pick up Jesse Carlson)

Rumor is that the Calapooia River Rats have extended a long term deal to Wily Mo Pena.

Horrible in April traded,

Konerko, Paul (1B,CI, CHA)
Wang, Chien-Ming (P, NYA)
Wilson, C.J. (P, TEX)

to Indian Fire for

Nady, Xavier (OF, PIT)
Gonzalez, Adrian (1B,CI, SD)

word....that is a pretty fair deal on both sides....isnt HIA the same team that tried to trade Pujols for Putz....must be pretty closer crazy...I know the guy I would be offering every closer I owned to...

Honey Nut Ichiros trade

Volquez, Edison (P)
Ryan, B.J. (P)


to Indian Fire for


Phillips, Brandon (2B)

Another trade to start the second half:

Red Striped Mustangs (current 94 Saves & 36 Holds) sends

Papelbon, Jonathan (P, BOS)

to Boston Militia for (current 30 Saves & 62 Holds)

Shields, Scot (P, LAA)
Broxton, Jonathan (P, LAD

Should work out well for both teams.

good strategic trade. I keep hearing good things about the Southern League from the commish, keep up the good work guys!

With the trade deadline only two weeks away the following trades in AA Southern took effect tonight;

Boston Militia sends Zambrano, Soria, Longoria for Foul Territories, Saito, Garko, Wright
I should point out that the Militia has reached the 1500 innings pitched Max already

The Fire sent K. Green to waivers and the Punisher's picked up FA Fred Lewis to complete his roster

HoneyNutIchiros will need to fall into a coma for the rest of the year to finish out of the top three in the league. They have a huge lead in the standings so they should be able to put it on auto pilot and cruise to the league title.

Red Striped Mustangs are in solid position to finish 2nd in the league and could make a run at the top spot with some additional starting pitching to bolster their line up.

Boston Militia have beefed up their hitting with their last few trades but I don't think it'll be enough to hold them in 3rd place for the remaining 7 weeks of the season. I estimate they'll lose about 16 points in pitching categories since they've already hit their max innings limit. However, it looks like they could gain about 8 points in hitting categories during the same time frame. That trade off should see them finish the season with about 92 points overall and could keep them close to a 3rd-5th place finish.

hoy and the Corporal Punisher's are neck-n-neck in 4th & 5th place respectively and appear to be the favorites to finish 3rd in the league at seasons end. hoy just bolstered their relief pitching corps via trade with the Boston Militia and should help them improve upon their point totals. The Corporal Punishers are in desperate need of hitting and continue to look at dealing away some SP for help in that area prior to the trade deadline. I know this flies in the face of my most recent transaction(Cano for Liriano) but I also need some much needed W's down the stretch as well. The Mets & Tigers bullpens have killed me and vultur W's have been far and few between. Liriano looks to have fairly "soft" schedule and should pile on the wins as long as the Twins remain in the playoff hunt.

Hit Men, Foul Territory, and horrible in april are in perhaps the best league battle for a 6th place finish. For the past copule of weeks, all three teams have been playing musical chairs with that position on a daily basis. It will be interesting if any of these guys make any moves prior to the trade deadline. One things for sure, its been a very tough and competetive league this year.
