Dave Burcicki: I'd like to thank you all for coming to our press conference on the eve of the 2060 BBA trade deadline. We'd like to announce that we have acquired Helmut Grün from the Las Vegas Gamblers and Félix Camarco from the Phoenix Talons. In a separate trade we have dealt Geoffrey 'Flash' Dodson to the Portland Lumberjacks. With that said we'll open the press conference for questions.
Associated Press: Why the decision to acquire Grun?
DB: I've long been a fan of Helmet Grun dating back to the Helmet Watch from when he was in Tripoli of the UMEBA back in 2049. Just an absolute professional hitter. He's one of the better defensive first basemen in the league right now. We're excited to have him.
AP: Does this mean that we've seen the last of Jules Le Gal?
DB: No. Jules has struggled some this year and he's unfortunately seen his playing time diminish because of it. That said he still has a place on the 2060 Charm City Jimmies and we're going to try to put him in the most advantageous situations moving forward.
AP: Does that mean he's not expected to be back in 2061?
DB: Never say never, but I'm fairly confident that the first basemen of 2061 is currently in our organization.
AP: What can you tell us about Felix Camarco?
DB: Carmarco is an interesting dude. He's had some good success in recent years from 2057 through present after having some issues getting a foot hold in the BBA. He throws a heavy fastball and forkball with good movement that induces weak contact and ground balls. The other thing that attracted him to us is that he's under contract for 2061. If you guys know anything about our moves at the deadline historically, we like adding guys who can add value in the future as well as today.
AP: Why was Dodson moved?
DB: Let me start by saying we're very appreciative of the efforts that Geoffrey Dodson has given us since we selected him in 2052. Unfortunately you can't keep everyone. We have a roster crunch at the 1B/corner outfield position and felt like it was in our best interests to trade him. We're happy with the return.
AP: What's the outlook for the playoff roster?
DB: As we ride into pumpkin season our primary goal right now is trying to add another Atlantic Division Championship flag to the poles in the outfield. We're not looking at the playoffs right now because we're fully aware that we first have to qualify for the playoffs and the best way to qualify for the playoffs is to win the division. If we're able to do that then we'll see how we manage the roster.
DB: Any other questions? Thanks for your time. Have a great rest of the day.
