KC pulls off deal...

Kansas City--


Today Kansas City sent distraught veteran Charles Regan to the Scranton Salt Dogs in exchange for Oswaldo Jacquez and Pitcher Ned Caminiti.

The move also helps free up a little more cash in the payroll for KC, who is still a decent amount under budget.

Manager Buckeye86 liked the move..."I think we got a capable replacement in Oswaldo Jacquez. He may not have asgood of a hitter, but I think he'll fill in nicely. We also received a pretty good 20 year old pitcher in Ned Caminiti." He'll be sent to AAA to start his career with us. He looks like he could be a decent #3 guy in the bigs. We'll see..."

When asked what he thought of the team so far after 10 games, Buckeye86 responded.."It's only 10 games, this is a marathon, not a sprint. Obviously the pitching needs to be a lot better, but to be 4-6 with those performances, I'll take it. We're in 2nd place, 3 games back of Honolulu."

He later added-"It's going to be a fun season"
