The Brattleboro Islanders and the Miami Crocs announced a trade today that will send 31 year old outfielder Jim Lyon to Miami in exchange for minor league pitcher Brandeis Wedlinger.
A right-handed hitter with some pop, Lyon is poised to help the Crocs solidify their position in the PL playoff race.
Of course, that means the draft is on Friday. So finish up those draft lists and get things going! Troy, tell them all about it, will you?

Get your draft lists in now, and if you’re not sure how to do that, feel free to reach out and we can walk you through the process.

Remember to look at the draft list! Start getting those picks lined up. Jeremy will have the next sim on Monday. Don’t miss out!
Game date: May 1st, 2023
The draft pool has been released, and it looks like the pool is a little deeper than it has been for a few years, so our efforts seem to be moving in the right direction. We should see a small jump each year for the next few, at which point I think we’ll be in great shape. Start working on those draft lists!
Standings:
Kant: Brooklyn at 15-9
Hobbes: Brattleboro at 18-8
Hegel: Charleston at 21-6
Calvin: DC at 19-7
Transactions:
San Diego was busy the last 5 days. They signed Jeff Irby to a very team friendly 10 year, $50MM deal, and well over 100 minor leaguers to fill out their system. Good work Troy!
Games:
4/26: Charleston squeaks out a 13 inning win over NJ
4/28: Maui scores 4 in the bottom of the 9th to beat NY 6-5
4/29: Jorge Rangel goes the distance, giving up 4 hits and striking out 13 en route to a win over Cleveland
