Superstar Nilsen Shipped To LaGrange For 3 Players
"Bill Nilsen will be greatly missed, but overall the Lumberjacks will gain out of this blockbuster trade," said Manager Robbie Jackson of Forest City. "It gives us a strong starter, a solid shortstop with a great glove and good bat and an outfielder with great range and arm, who hits for average and with power."

Forest City and LaGrange have made a huge swap. Players involved in the transaction are the Lumberjacks 24-year old star shortstop Bill Nilsen and the Sports 30-year old shortstop Marvin Hollis, 27-year old center fielder Roger Marley and 24-year old starting pitcher Al Thibaut.

LaGrange skipper Foxy Jimison was estatic, "We just got one of the IPA superstuds. Nilsen was an All-Star this year with a .312 batting average, 32 homers and 112 RBIs. He was the Rookie of the Year in 2002. The Sports have one of the best clean-up hitters in the league now." A check of his lifetime stats shows Nilsen has played in 445 games with a .295 batting average. Among his 476 hits are 87 home runs. He also has scored 295 runs and driven in 312 runs in his three seasons.

The Lumberjacks got some good players, too. Thibaut will move into the starting rotation right away. He was 13-17 with a 3.26 ERA in 35 starts in 2004. Thibaut came into the league in 2002 and has a career mark of 47-39 with a 3.44 ERA.

Hollis is a very sure-handed infielder with good range and a career .976 fielding percentage. This past season Hollis batted .285 with 4 home runs, 53 RBIs and 84 runs. Lifetime Hollis is a solid .277 hitter in his three years in the league. He played with Wynnamac his first two seasons.

Marley may be the best player in the bunch. He sparkled in center field for Forest City this year hitting .295 with 18 roundtrippers, while batting in 61 runs and scoring 92 times. Marley can really cover ground in the outfield, throws as good as anyone in the IPA and has a lifetime .978 fielding average. Marley has compiled a .287 average over his three-year career. He became a regular in 2004.
