All,

The trading deadline came and went, and so did most 
of the remaining reserve moves.  Several owners
reversed earlier sins, most notably the Mazins 
bringing back JD Drew in place of the immortal 
Xavier Nady.  Almost all teams made at least one 
move, with Terry getting the Charlie Hustle Award 
for two trades and two reserve moves.  Willo and 
Ike stayed underground, not wanting to disturb the 
kharma of their respective squads.

Four trades in total, with pitching being the focus.  
They include:

- Nomads trade Padilla to Mazins for Biddle

- Panzas send Mark Bellhorn, Junior Griffey, 
  Curt Schilling, Miguel Batista to the Tamales 
  for Tony Batista, Ryan Klesko, Kip Wells, and 
  Carl Pavano.

- Expectorators send Woody Williams, P, StL, 
  to the Leathernuts for Troy Percival, P, ANA.

- Expectorators do the following trades with the 
  Ballbusters- Percival to the Ballbusters for
  [gulp!] Kevin Appier, P, FA;Mark Mulder, P, OAK, 
  to the Busters for Dontrelle Willis, P, FLA; and
  Planet Carl Everett, OF, CHW, to the Busters for 
  Vernon "Big Stick" Wells, OF, TOR.

Here are the moves summary:

Moves

Ballbusters
The Ballbusters reserve Scott Williamson and activate Brett Myers (P).

	Rich Harden, Oak
	Jerome Williams, SF
	Livan Hernandez, Mon
	Jason Jennings, Col
	Jeriome Robertson, Hou
	Jose Lima, KC
	Jose Acevido, Cin

Invincibles
I need to make two changes to my requests.  Both involve switching the 
order of my selections.

in dumping Billy Koch, I want Beck ahead of Hernandez, with Hentgen 
still third.

in dumping Alex Gonzalez, I want Bill Mueller ahead of Berroa, 
with Conine still third.

The other two reversals still stand as requested.
first, reverse the Rodrigo Lopez / Ishii move, bringin Lopez back 
in the lineup, no charge  (I just saw that Ishii was put on the 
DL yesterday....)

second, dump that jerk Billy Koch  (#98)  pick up, in order,
L. Hernandez,   SP  Montreal
R. Beck   RP, San Diego
P. Hentgen  SP  Balt

third, reverse the Konerko / Conine move, bringing back 
Konerko at no charge

fourth, dump Alex Gonzalez (SS)  242, and pick up, in order:
Angel Berroa     SS  KC
Bill Mueller   3B (available, I'm told)  Bos
Jeff Conine   Also available, I think.


Leathernuts
Reserve T. Ohka, P, and replace him with one of these 
players in order of preference: 

L. Hernandez, Mtl, 
J. Suppan, Pit, 
J. Johnson, Bal, 
L. Hawkins, MN,
B. Radke, from my reserve list.

Red Foxes
Reserve that bum DeJean (202) you stiffed me with
and pick up 

R. Harden, Oak ... he was on my list last month when 
                   he was still in the minors
J. Williams, SF ... also on last week's list
P. Hentgen, Bal
L. Hernandez, Mnt
T. Redding, Hou
J. Suppan, Bos

Pussjackers
Reverse the Day - Isringhausen move - Isringhausen bcomes active 
Replace Vina with either Polanco or  Mark Grudzinlanek

Replace Jordan with Matt Stairs, Jeff DaVanon, or Reed Johnson

Mazins
Reverse J.D. Drew back in for Xavier Nady (no reserve move needed),

Tamales
reserve Junior and Corey Patterson for Jeff DeVanon/Placido 
Polanco (moves Cattalanatto to OF)/Luis Matos/Angel Berroa 
(same with Catt)

Expectorators
Reverse the reserve move involving Matt Kinney, P, and activate #214
Oliver Perez, SD .

I have one reserve move left, so let's burn it faster than 
my kid burns a crisp $20--

Slide Carlos Beltran, currently at U #267 to OF;  then reserve Eric
Byrnes, OF, #166 via the handicapped Giambi brother, and replace him in
the vacant U slot with the first available of:  Angel Berroa, SS, KC;
Placido Polanco, SS/2B/3B/MI; Bill Mueller, 3B, BOS; Aaron Guiel, OF, KC:
Brian Roberts, 2B, BAL;  Luis Matos, OF, BAL; or Jeff Duncan, OF, NYM.
