THE WEEK IN McCABE S-13 #2

TRADES
The DETROIT TIGERS traded Brad Price to the TORONTO BLUE JAYS for Raymond Walker
Toronto picks up a pitching prospect that if he can get his control up to 50. He may be a good major leaguer. Everyone knows that walks can kill you.Detroit gets a Minor league pitcher


M L INJURIES
Charlie Murray
The Salmonbellies brought back Charlie "Horse" Murray after he spent 3 years in the New York limelight.  jgarron signed him to a 2 year 5.5 million dollar contract. And he repays him by opting for elbow surgery. Charlie Horse will miss 3 months and could make it back by the post season.

Victor Ortiz
The Brewers traded for Victor "E" Ortiz in season 5. And he spent many moons in their farm system. Now that he's getting regular playing time in the bigs. He goes on the DL for the second consecutive season. He will return in 2 weeks and this may hurt his value in Arbitration next season. 

Juan Diaz
5 time Silver Slugger Juan "World" Diaz will miss 2 months with a Hernia. His 40+ homers and .297 average will be missed in Colorado. Not good when he is negotiating a contract extension with 2stepper. He may hit the free agent market in 2 years ??

Larry Bates
Another big bat goes down for 2 months. Larry "Master" Bates broke his hand while......er.........playing with his ........er.......bat. Yea thats it.......Talk about rough sex!

Rob Ingram
Rob "Bury" Ingram wanted to die when he was picked up in the R-5 draft. This season he was traded to the Royals and looks like he wants to die again. He don't like changes!! He will be reborn in 2 weeks.

The Angels picked up this Gold Glover for 1.8 million. He could be a defensive callup during expansions.

Alfredo Moraga Texas Rangers Age: 18 B/T: S/R Born: Jicome Esperanza, DO Position(s): 2B/1B/LF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

I signed this kid for 3.3 million and a S/T invite. He could be a GG Lf'er . But his bat will be a liability at that position. Could be included in a blockbuster trade to sweeten the pot?
