Wheelin' & Dealin'


Hobb's World, as usual, has been very active this season with 24 deals so far involving 20 different teams. We have been a very active league when it has come to ""wheelin & Dealin" and it appears that it SHALL continue. Keep it up guys!!

The gist of this seasons "wheelin & Dealin" so far begins with the landmark trade between manager the_oat and his Seattle Mariners and kybucki's Louisville Sluggers. Yes, the trade that sent Davey Ramirez back to his home in Seattle, and "officially" marking the end to last season's saga. The transaction was smooth and painless, and was the_oat's only deal and 1 of 2 deals that kybucki was involved in.

Our busiest manager so far, as could have well been expected, is blackmamba22 who heads up the Las Vegas Legends. Blackmamba22 entered the league with a lot of energy and has been involved in 7 deals so far. He now appears to be placing the final touches on an entire REVAMP of the former Salem Thinder Suxx, I mean Stixx! Who afterall, finished last year with a 55 - 89 record leaving fans and the new fan base in Las Vegas expecting nothing less. "[i]f your (sic) in my division, good luck. I think that it is goona (sic) be a barn burner between The Legends and the Pilots. Hopefully the move I made for Jack Sierra seals it up for me>We will see" said Mamba. That we will! We WILL see. Good luck!

Speaking of Mr. Sierra, he came from the also busy palet99 and the
Salt Lake City Golden Crew. The Crew has been involved in 4 deals so far and looks to change things in the NL West for S4. Perhaps the biggest addition to the crew this season came outside of any trade though, in the form of a highly sought after Bubba Baldwin who palet99 made a $14 Million man.

Another busy manager has been wylie715 and his Pawtucket Pencil-Necked Geeks who have made 5 trades so far. Wylie715 looks to mix up his division as well with his many new acquisitions, including Theo Simas who will make his major league debut in S4. Simas, in fact, was acquired from an equally busy team rival, Stnick44 and the Scranton Blue Collars who have been involved in 4 trades of their own.

Of the leagues busiest, also included are patrickkm's Minnesota North Stars, with 4 deals, thewheaties's Huntington Tyro Mavins, with 3 deals, and rpsrn's Austin Anteaters, with 3 deals.

SO 20 teams have been involved in 24 trades so far and I am sure that there will even more "wheelin & Dealin" to come. BUT these guys have been the busiest! Good luck to all as you prepare for the rule 5 draft and make an effort to pull your teams even closer to the perfect package! SO. . .THATS IT for this years "wheelin & Dealin"! at least for no!!
