Clowns Continue Their Make-Over

The Candy Colored Clowns continued their 2015 efforts by completing their 2nd and 3rd trades in the last two weeks while the Beatniks and Revenge retooled themselves for the stretch run to try and catch up with the improvements the Kenndoza Line made last month.

The Clowns traded favorite Aroldis Chapman (.13 14!) and Nick Wittgren (.02 Mx) to the Revenge in exchange for Rex Brothers (.06 16+) and hopeful Cub Uber-stud Jorge Soler (.02 Mx).

Then the Clowns turned around and traded Santiago Casilla (.01 16+), Carl Crawford (.13 14), Jorge de la Rosa (.01 16+) and Mike Leake (.04 16+) to the Beatniks for Jacob de Grom (.05 16+), JT Realmuto (.02 16x), Hunter Renfroe (.05 Mx) and Justin Ruggiano (.06 14).

The Revenge have positioned themselves to pick up significant points in H/S and K:BB as long as no line drives come past the pitcher's mound again.

The Beatniks helped themselves in multiple categories as long as all the players involved can spend more time between the white lines rather than the training table.

The Clowns plugged some injury holes on their Active Roster, built for the future and, most astonishingly may have set a record by now holding 15 minor leaguers on their Reserve Roster.
