PVBL: Deadwood Outlaws
Outlaws Swap with Sea Dogs

December 15, 1998

Pending league approval, the Deadwood Outlaws have sent RHP John Wetteland to Washington for C Mike Stanley and RHP Hank Gill.

With the arrival of Stanley and Gill added to 1b Julio Franco and C Joe Girardi (From a trade with Hartford earlier in the week), the Outlaws appear to be done for the offseason. Deadwood GM Phil Raisor had this to say: "Losing Tino Martinez in the supplemental draft hurt us, but hopefully Stanley can help pick up the slack.

Unless Raisor gets a blockbuster offer he, apperantly, will not be looking to make anymore changes. "Like everyone in the league, I'm always looking for pitching, but I won't gut my offense. I think we're the best team in the league, and we should make a strong run at the title this year."
