Trades and Signings

Butch has been rather busy at the trading block, having added 3 new faces to the roster since the departure of Brian McFall. As I reported earlier we signed a new lefty starter Craig Anderson who won in his first apperance last night. From the trade with York, the Blue Crabs recieved outfielder Jamar Hill who has taken the role of leader-off hitter. Also recently accquired was lefty reliever Jason Waddell who has yet to see action. After signing Jason and Craig, Butch was forced to deactivate pitcher Matt Petrusek as well as as outfielder Daisuke Yoshida to bring our roster back down to 25 active members. Many of you may have noticed the bull pen catcher is not Anthony Perry this season, but that mystery man is in fact Ben Harrison and he is not a catcher. Ben is actually a power hitting outfielder who is currently serving time on a suspension that should end around the all-star break. His return could spark even more changes in the line up, as well as seeing some of our favorite players depart.
