Well in the midst of all the MLB trade deadline coming up, a lot of teams are cleaning house. The Angels are one of those teams that are on the receiving end, receiving Zack Greinke from Milwaukee. The Halos gave up shortstop Juan Segura, and two other minor league right-handed pitchers, even though we lost probably the best shortstop in the minors, I like this trade - provided the Angels offer a new contract to Greinke and Segura this winter. I will be watching Greinke's first start when it airs in ten minutes.
Meanwhile, the NLL's Buffalo Bandits did some off-season business. Aside from replacing Derek Graham from his duties in the front office with former bandit and 2012 Hall of Fame nominee Steve Dietrich, the bandits made a blockbuster deal. Remember when everyone thought the Bandits were crazy when they gave up two draft picks in 2012 for Anthony Cosmo? Okay, maybe you don't, anyway the Thieves (as I - and only I - have called them) got a steal in a three team trade. The Edmonton Rush originally traded Shawn Williams to Minnesota for two second round picks one for this coming draft and the other for next year's.
I added the above for the sake of content. One day, I would like to have a recreational curling rink (team). Team colors would be purple and yellow (or gold) with a brown accent. The lighter color set is the home set as it should be in the NHL, but beggars can't be choosers. I leave you with this to ponder on. I will have some stuff I have been working on for this within the next week.

In what had been a relatively quiet off-season in the NLL to date outside of the NLL Hall of Fame nominations, the Swarm then dealt Williams, along with Brendan Doran and the 5th, 14th, and 18th overall selections to the Bandits in exchange for Buffalo's third overall pick this year. Keep in mind this is the same Minnesota team that received Cosmo in Boston's 2011 dispersal draft, didn't even use him, and dealt him to Buffalo so Buffalo has all of the Swarm's original picks and Minnesota has all of the original Bandit picks (before any other trades have been made). Williams had previously been with the Bandits for two seasons in 2000 and 2001.
