Hartford Back On Top, Still Shopping Martinez May 18, 1999
The Hartford Whalers are back on top of the most see-saw divisional battle
in all of the PVBL. They lead the second-place Deadwood Outlaws by a 1/2
game on the heels of a 3-game win streak. Montreal has also been winning
of late, while Edmonton is trying to shake off a 5-game losing streak.
Tradewinds
Rumor has it that Hartford is STILL trying to shop RHP Ramon Martinez to
anyone needing a starter or long reliever. They have also reportedly
tossed around some of their relievers' names and even Kevin Millwood's name
came up once in trade talks. So, what is Hartford looking for? A STARTING
CF, a backup 3B or just a great DH bat or PH off the bench in general.
They have also been in talks for a solid starter to be #3 or #4.
