What a day in the league :shock:
We had it all going on among the owners - trades and a spike in roster moves.

[b:1ab4920d81]And a trade that really served as a bunch of drops and a nice grab for a bystander owner.[/b:1ab4920d81]
[list:1ab4920d81]KINGDOME TEAM traded:
Ripken Jr., Cal [b:1ab4920d81](BA: .283 / OPS: .826) [/b:1ab4920d81]
Duncan, Mariano [b:1ab4920d81](PAs: 4 / BA: .500)[/b:1ab4920d81]
Camp, Rick [b:1ab4920d81](IP: 37 / ERA: 7.20 / WHIP: 1.80)[/b:1ab4920d81]
Vandeberg, Ed [b:1ab4920d81](IP: 25 / ERA: 9.24 / WHIP: 2.21)[/b:1ab4920d81]
RIVERFRONT TEAM for:
Roenicke, Gary [b:1ab4920d81](PA: 26 / OPS: .496) [/b:1ab4920d81]
Smalley Jr., Roy [b:1ab4920d81](PA: 193/ OPS: .682) [/b:1ab4920d81]
Smith, Dave [b:1ab4920d81](IP: 24 / ERA: 2.25 / WHIP: 1.17)[/b:1ab4920d81][/list:u:1ab4920d81]
Shortly after the trade, the RIVERFRONT TEAM then dropped
[b:1ab4920d81]Camp
Vandeberg[/b:1ab4920d81]
And then [b:1ab4920d81]Andre Dawson[/b:1ab4920d81] [OPS: .665] for Al Cowens
With the KINGDOME TEAM dropping Gary Roenicke (replaced with Scott Fletcher) and the fired [b:1ab4920d81]Chet Lemon [/b:1ab4920d81]to acquire [b:1ab4920d81]Andre Dawson [/b:1ab4920d81]
So, let us rework the trade as the events settled
KINGDOME trades [b:1ab4920d81]Ripken[/b:1ab4920d81] and [b:1ab4920d81]Duncan[/b:1ab4920d81] to RIVERFRONT for [b:1ab4920d81]Smalley [/b:1ab4920d81]and [b:1ab4920d81]D Smith [/b:1ab4920d81]and [b:1ab4920d81]Andre Dawson[/b:1ab4920d81] (in a round about way) with the COUNTY team snagging [b:1ab4920d81]Chet Lemon[/b:1ab4920d81] using an underperforming [b:1ab4920d81]Mike Easler [/b:1ab4920d81] (OPS: .805) and [b:1ab4920d81]Hal McRae[/b:1ab4920d81]
Clearly, the KINGDOME team valued [b:1ab4920d81]D Smith[/b:1ab4920d81] much higher than the offense / defense provided by [b:1ab4920d81]Cal Ripken [/b:1ab4920d81]. On the other, I'm wonder how much will Smalley at SS reduce the team's overall double play ability over the course of the season.
