The Boston Colonials have sent 26 year old P Adrian Nicol and their 2011 4th round draft pick (13th) to the Iron Pigs for P Jamie Bent and a 2011 5th round draft choice (2nd). Bent is 49-55 4.27 over his 7 year career. Nicol, Boston's 10th pick in 2002 (281st overall) has just 17 IBL innings but was working out of the bullpen on the parent club.

BACKROOM CHATTER
Jamie Bent was a veteran we thought would be a part of the rotation this year. Once we got through camp our people soured on him. Great makeup, quiet guy, but his stuff was nowhere near what we'd seen in the past. Our guys really like Nicol as a starter and he'll take Bent's rotation spot in New Orleans. Get him stretched out and see where it takes us. The pick swap was another move up in the draft.
