Revenge - Moore Better Trade

Morkertzuma's Revenge took steps today to solidfy their position atop the CFCL standings, making two strong additions to their offense in a deal with the 12th place Moore Better.

The Revenge acquired first baseman Todd Helton (.27-09+) and outfielder Andre Ethier (.17-10+) for infielder Jose Castillo (.01-10+), outfielder Gabe Kapler (.05-10+), pitcher Sean Gallagher (.02-10+), and third base prospect Andy LaRoche (.05-09+).

The acquisitions were a key strategic move for the Revenge -- although they rank 4th in the league in offense overall, they find themselves dead last in On-Base Percentage at .327. Helton's OBP of .417 and Ethier's .359 are sure to help that cause.
