Buffalo Revamped

Coming into tonights game, the opener in a series against the Salt Lake City Sea Monkeys, the Lebowskis will be experimenting with a new lineup. The Lebowskis finally found a suitor for RF Bill Murphy who repeatedly exhibited resentment towards his lack of playing time. Bill Murphy, RP Fernando Parra, and 2B Ryan Miller were traded in-state to the Big Apple for SP Erick Patterson, 1B Ralph Spurgeon, and OF Trevor Delahanty.

Ryan Miller, former starting 2B for the Lebowskis, will be replaced by AAA star Edguardo Fuentes, who's deserved his shot for a while now. Coach Circelli sees Fuentes as lead-off material, which will allow 40/40 man Justin Hutton to move more into the heart of the lineup. Slugger Don Wilkins will also be joining the team tonight, returning from a stint on the DL. Ralph Spurgeon will start in AA, with management keeping a close eye on his progress. Trevor Delahanty will replace Bill Murphy's role as the 4th outfielder after some minor roster complications sort themselves out.

Erick Patterson will join the staff immediately, and will start tomorrow afternoons game. The Lebowskis are very excited for the future, as big arms like Patterson, Sal Harris, Rick Benson, and Larry Franklin aim for the rotation.

It's time to get ready for tonight's game. Hopefully, this move will turn around the franchises past discretions. We will find out shortly. Till then, the Lebowskis abide.
