Las Vegas trade block

Las Vegas is now ready to move after a stunning defeat in 4 against Montreal.  Of course, the team is the Thurman Munson league champion but every players stay with a piece of deception after their championship serie failure.

So, it's time to think about 2013 and the Joker put a really nice players on the trading block, the catcher Ronnie Wells.  He's not a young man but at 32 he still have some good years in front of him.  Our scout see him with a 17 contact and 18 in avoid strikeout, a nice combo for a catcher. He hit well last year (.291) even if he's righty in our friendly lefty stadium. But with the emergence of Phillip Smith, the organisation want to give Wells a chance to be #1 backstopper in another team.  Let's come and talk, we're open at many ideas.

If someone want to make a solid run for the title, we can talk about Clay Morris (SP) and Kevin Carey (3B), two very good vets who had very good playoff.

In fact, there's just 2 players who won't move for sure; Maurice Gould and Colin St.John... Now, we're waiting to see who's gone a be Vegas first pick...

World series start in Vegas tonight

It's time... The Jokers will receive the Bandits tonight in the first match of world series. really The Jokers want this first title so they're happy to start at home, with Maurice Gould on the month. All players knows that to beat Montreal, they'll need good pitching.  Montreal offense is terrible and can mark 10 or more points easily. So, all the pressure will be on the shoulders of Gould, Morris and Magee. The trio pitched extremly well against Boston and they'll need to be better against Montreal. If not, the dream can become a nightmare quickly.

On the offense, Kevin Carey is on fire in this year playoff. The vet took offensive leadership with many clutch hits and a consistency that really help his team. Colin St.John played extremely well in the last three games against Boston but struggled before. Troy Tracy and Vic Jennings needs to be better.

So, all is set for a fabulous series against two friendly GM. We all know that Francois Neveu came from Montreal, so it's special to face his hometown team in this serie. So, all the actors are in place, PLAYBALL!
