Sports-Sundowners Trade Announced
LaGrange and Wynnamac agreed to a trade today. 29-year-old reliever Dwight Gagneaux and 29-year-old reliever Matt Landrieu will go to the Sundowners. In exchange the Sports will receive 29-year-old shortstop Marvin Hollis and 32-year-old right fielder John Babcock.

Gagneaux, also a rookie in 2003, appeared in 21 games with a 1-5 mark, while making 4 starts, but posted a very good 3.10 ERA.

Hollis is a fine defender with excellent range. He was the Sundowners first-string shortstop the last two years. Hollis is a decent hitter, compiling a .272 batting average last season with 4 homers and 62 RBIs. Lifetime he is hitting .274.

Babcock has been only a part-timer in his two seasons. In 36 games last year he batted .296 with 9 home runs and 37 RBIs. Babcock's career batting average is only .244. Babcock will start in left field for the Sports.
