December
Dec. 28 - We are currently in discussions with the Dallas Stars to move 28 year old 1B Enrique Aquayo for a pitching prospect.

Dec. 30 - Andy Milner has officially signed with Portland on a 3 year/$16.5 million deal meaning I have failed my first goal as GM of the Sentinels. We knew this was going to happen. On to the next.

Dec. 31 - Rick came back from a trip to Venezuela with an absolute gem. 16 year old third baseman Miguel Fabroni with 3.5 star Potential. He looks to be an above average hitter with a good eye and pitch selection. He also currently has a very good arm with decent range. Hopefully after a year or two in our International Complex he is ready to go to Puerto Rico and test against other professionals.

January
Jan. 2 - Hall of Fame results came in today, two players were inducted:

LF Juan Aviles (1st year, 86.9%) - Aviles played 17 total seasons, from 1991-2007, playing with the Atlanta Attack in 1991-1998, 2002-2003, and 2007. He also spent time with St. Louis (1999-2000), San Diego (2001, 2005), the New York Empire (2004), and the New York Titans (2006). Aviles won two MVP awards in 1996 and 1999, along with making 9 All Star games and winning 6 Silver Sluggers. 1996 was a season to remember for Aviles, however. Entering September of 1995, Aviles appeared set to set the home run record, having hit 44 so far with a month to play. Just a few days in, however, he fractured his finger, and did not appear in another game that season. The next season he kept an even hotter pace, smashing the record by the middle of July, and continuing his torrid pace to the end of the season. He finished the year with 70 home runs and another league record 178 runs driven in. He also lead the league in hits (215), batting average (.354), slugging percentage (.764) and OPS (1.159). Truly a historic season, and arguably the greatest offensive season in the history of the USBL. He would go on to hit 40+ homers in each of the next 4 years, to make it 6 seasons in a row with 40 or more home runs. He also would surpass his .354 mark in 1999, hitting .379 that year. He finished his career as a .312/.358/.578 hitter with 488 career HRs, 2,274 hits, and just one RBI short of 1,500, ending at 1,499. An amazing career for Juan Aviles.

SP Mike Aliff (3rd year 77.9%) - Mike Aliff played 17 seasons in the USBL, from 1989-2005, all with the St. Louis Archers. Aliff was a three time Pitcher of the Year winner, accomplishing that in 1994, 1998, and 1999, while also appearing in 8 All Star games. 1998 was certainly his best season, in which he ended with a 20-6 record and a 2.68 ERA with an 0.98 WHIP. He struck out 155 in that season. Aliff would win one World Series in 1996, and ended his career with 207 wins and an ERA of 3.35. He also had 2,217 career strikeouts and pitched 200+ innings in 12 seasons. It was a stellar career for Aliff and he deserves this honor.

Jan. 8 - We have officially traded 1B Enrique Aguayo and 34 year old minor league CF Jim Schott to Dallas for 25 year old minor league SP Gabe Fisher. The move adds pitching depth to our minor league system, and moves an aging player who was essentially locked out of a roster spot now and in the future. Fisher looks to potentially grab a spot in our bullpen during Spring Training, or will begin the Triple-A season as a starter.

February
Feb. 21 - Mr. Green has decided to drop our budget from $41 million to $40 million. Doesn’t change much, just why. Wonder what he wants that extra million for…
