December 2011 - Winnipeg Bisons
Manager and GM Fritsche
8th December 2011
As the Rule V Draft offered virtually nobody to help us, we made some bids on free agents; primarily to bolster our AAA outfit Regina, but also in hope to attract some big names like Jose Reyes, B.J. Upton, Jeremy Reed or Tom Gorzelanny.
The Braves gave their superstar LF Brandon Jones (.282, 19 HR, 76 RBI) a new 3-year contract worth $13,680,000.
We signed LF Shawn Scobee (.298, 15 HR, 78 RBI, 14 SB - AAA) on a minor league contract.
The Brewers announced that 61-year old Kiyonobu Okumura will be their new GM. Sayonara!
9th December 2011
We signed C Josh Bard (.247, 13 HR, 62 RBI, 1 SB) on a 1-year contract worth $380,000.
Trades:
Washington sent reliever Matthew Parks (3-1-2, 4.02 ERA) and minor league CF Rod Warren (.322, 3 HR, 41 RBI - S A) to Detroit in exchange for RF Javier Herrera (.249, 15 HR, 72 RBI) and minor league 2B Richard Jackson (.309, 4 HR, 29 RBI, 1 SB - A).
The Blizzards traded minor league 2B John Matte (.284, 12 HR, 61 RBI, 16 SB - AAA) to the Mets for minor league 3B José Marino (.357, 4 HR, 40 RBI, 4 SB - S A).
