Just a quick update here. No players lost in the Rule-5 draft, but I brought home a former Cougar draftee from the South Side. Our 5th Rounder in the 1932 draft, Ernie Carson spent a season and a half with us before being included in the blockbuster Joe Masters and Dave Rankin trade. He wasn't getting all that time in the Chiefs farm this year, but he's a lefty bat who can fit in center and right and my scout thinks he should be an average big league right fielder. I have no idea if he's going to make the roster, but I couldn't resist bringing in a former Cougar draftee. He's got his work cut out for him, but there are one or two bench outfield spots available. In other news, as Harry Parker and Chubby Hall continue to flip-flop between 36 and 37, our system took advantage of the Dynamos' trade heavy offseason and we returned to the top 5 in terms of systems. With the Independent and Minor League draft up next and a full 40, we may not have any more adds. If I really want to, I'm comfortable waiving Ken Wyatt if I really like one of the independent league players.
