Trade Flurry in the Lou
The Crusaders backed up there dealing of ace pitcher Eric Braun by moving to more of their players shortly after.
Pete White was moved to Gettysburg for reliever Ian Mckee- White has great power but k's way too much and with Votto Riley and Skinner on Board his playing time will be limited. Mckee is a solid arm and will help our pen.
Tom Evans was our starting 2B last year but with the emergence of stud John Brewer he became expendable. Wille Jones is more of a fringe prospect but this move saves us 700 k and Jones might become something as he is still young enough to improve his stuff
Overall we cut the salary of our team by 500k with these deals and hopefully added a bullpen piece while clearing out the logjam at first
