WHIV 2036.17- Center Field Help On The Way

Center Field Help On The Way
August 27, 2036


The Hustlers organization has always prided itself on being very deep. "We spend a lot of time on identifying players who might be able to help us in the event of an emergency primarily through minor league contracts," explained General Manager Matt Rectenwald. "Unfortunately we seemed to have fallen short of that goal this season when it comes to the center field position."

After Jayden Harsnett went out for the season via injury, this left Juan Sweetworld to handle full time duties in center field. Now, with Sweetworld temporarily on the disabled list himself, the Hustlers were faced with a rare shortage at a key position.

Sure, they still had Carlos Torres in tow, but he offers very little in the terms of offensive production. Vegas called up long time minor leaguer Yoriyuki Kawashima to help at the position, but he's not a premium defender at that position. With few other options to consider, the Hustlers had to once again turn to the trade market to help solve the issue.

They quickly hooked up with San Antonio on a quick and easy deal that should help both teams. Vegas acquired Miguel Gil from the Outlaws, who is essentially Torres with a slightly better bat. In return the Outlaws acquired second base prospect Jose Valenzuela from the Hustlers, who will help them in the future.

Gil will help in center field as well as being a useful utility player who can fly on the basepaths, and he's on a minimum contract. "The ideal trade for what we needed at the time," said Rectenwald.
