The Week in JOSH GIBSON S-3 #3

TRADES
The NASHVILLE MUSTANGS traded Louie Kimbrel and David Wilfredo to the BURLINGTON COAT FACTORIES for Rich Coleman , Kane Daniels , Olmedo Gabriel and Jair Dominguez
Burlington picks up a great Prospect in Wilfredo and a low level pitcher. Nashville upgrades thier Pitching and Defense.

The ST LOUIS NOBLE HOPS traded Archie Francis to the CINCINATTI BEARCATS for Pedro Sanchez , Birdie Weaver and Del Coveleski
Very curious? Francis was traded to Cincy last year. Players he traded away last year for Francis are Neifi Villalona , Christian Spencer and Ivan Torres Then he was lost in free agency. Now Cincy has traded for him again. This time ST Louis gets a nice pitching prospect ,a solid catching prospect and a nice replacement for Francis. Looks like someone has a Man Crush on Archie!! he was expensive


M L INJURIES
Max Tavarez
Max "Million" Tavarez has defied logic as a solid M L pitcher. This Freak of nature will be out 2 more weeks with a sore shoulder.

Jim Stubbs
This overpaid Arfdog is already back to work

Wolf Bunch
Cougdawg took a chance on this pitcher. I decided not to resign him after last seasons Elbow surgery. He will miss a week with a sore surgicaly repaired Elbow. Cross your fingers Coug!

Brad Osborne
This Odd Year D L Bomber will miss another week with a strained oblique!

Jimmy Stuart
The Suzuki's Jimmy "look what I can Do" Stuart will miss 2 months with a torn up Knee.

Darrin Weaver
Darrin "Dream" Weaver will snooze for a week.

Another Cougdawg gamble gone bad?? Juan will miss 3 weeks this time.
