Fassero and Spoljaric Out of Rotation May 18, 1999
PITCHING WOES
LHP Paul Spoljaric (2-3 3.41 ERA) will miss at least one turn in the
rotation with a mild shoulder sprain, and LHP Jeff Fassero (3-2 5.82 ERA)
has been pulled from the rotation due to poor performance so far. LHPs
Jamie Moyer (2-0 2.97 ERA) and Al Leiter (1-0 5.27) will take their spots.
Leiter has been the focus of recent trade talks, and it's theorized that
Outlaw GM Phil Raisor is hoping that Leiter pitches well enough to fetch
more in any trade.
ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER SEARCH CONTINUES
Phil Raisor continues to search for an assistant GM to take over day-to-day
operations of the Outlaws. Of the search, Raisor said,"I hope to have an
assistant in place by the end of the weekend. I've got a call into an old
college buddy that, while he's been out of baseball for a few years, has a
great mind for the game. I had hoped to get some help from the commish's
office, but no one there is returning my calls, so I'll try to find someone
on my own."
TRADE TALKS
The Outlaws are interested in moving LF Brad Fullmer back to DH, so a new
OFer is needed. Someone comparable to David Segui (Current DH 57-56-41) is
wanted, good defense a plus. I have a couple of ok prospects left (C Bill
Harrington 55-50-38 potentials, SS Hal Black) to give up.
