Ben Broussard to the Mariners.....

According to a post I read on Phantasy Tour.com /Phish

¶ CLEVELAND (AP) _ The Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Ben Broussard from the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday for a minor league outfielder.

¶ The Indians sent Broussard and cash to the Mariners for Shin-Soo Choo and a player to be named later.

¶ Broussard hit .321 with 13 home runs and 46 RBIs in 88 games with the Indians, but was spotty defensively and committed seven errors.

¶ Choo has spent most of this season at Triple-A Tacoma where he hit .323 with 13 home runs and 48 RBIs. He played in four games for Seattle between July 3-13, going 1-for-11.

¶ The trade came a month after the Mariners got first baseman Eduardo Perez in a deal with the Indians for minor league infielder Asbrudal Cabrera on June 30

¶ Seattle is in last place in the AL West but only 3½ games behind the division-leading Los Angeles Angels.

¶ Choo stole 26 bases in 30 attempts at Tacoma and was picked for the Pacific Coast League's All-Star team. He was a member of Korea's provisional roster for the World Baseball Classic in March.

¶ Seattle will travel to Cleveland to open a three-game series with the Indians on Friday night.

Well, the market for

Todd Walker officially dried up. Perhaps there is still slim chance the Tigers will give us a rusty infield rake for his services, but I'm not banking on it with Dmitri Wife Beater Young back in the fold.

I make no apologies

for labeling those who commit domestic violence against females scumbags and moral wretches. But if you condone such behavior, then the more power to you. I bet Julio Lugo AND Dmitri Young are on your fantasy team.

Oh I'm sorry

because you walk on water and change water into wine right.

No, I'm not defending these men, what they did was deplorable and inexcusable, but that doesn't mean I gain the right to call them out on these things when I don't even know who they are.
