Typos, SWAT agree to trade

by Mark George
The BaseballGB fantasy league has seen its first trade announced, as SWAT and the Typos agree to a deal. Joe will send Chad Qualls to SWAT in exchange for Adam Jones. This deal should give SWAT some extra saves while Joe gets one of the pleasant surprises from the first half of the season.
 
Will any of the other contending teams be looking to make trades?

The Angels handed the Typos an 11-1 defeat, but there were seven categories which could easily have gone the other way. It wasn’t a brilliant display of hitting by weither side, as the Angels won with a .230 average, but Derrek Lee’s 12 RBI week helped them a great deal. Another Cub, Ted Lilly, led the Angels’ pitching staff.

Bonestalkers picked up a 9-1 win over Tribal Warfare thanks to some power from Johnny Damon and an excellent week from Time Lincecum (two wins, 17 strikeouts, 0.00 ERA).

The results see SWAT cut the ‘Cuse’s lead to four games with The Stuff 9 games back in third. My Isotopes are in fourth, followed by The Giants. Bonestalkers make up the top six, closely followed by The Chasers.

The Bats, Whos and Angels are still in with a chance while the Typos, Bangers and Gas have work to do. Tribal Warfare look like they are planning for next year!
