"I'm happy to grab him,"confirmed GM Hopkins,"While Wally is a bit of a fly-ball pitcher, our outfield is sufficiently larger than Greenville's so that I think we'll see an improvement in Wally's already stellar numbers this season."
"We needed to revamp our bullpen this off-season with the losses of Pilgrim and Meyer, and I think we've been able to improve our pitching while cutting the salary cap hit."
'Will we need to make more moves this off-season? Well...we're gonna have to! This move puts us comfortably over the salary cap again!"
