Moabs Acquire Arm: Andy Pettitte
Brooklyn GM Eric J. Caskey has made a much anticipated deal, landing veteran left handed starter. Andy Pettitte, for the second time in his career, will compete in BARB in Moab pinstripes. Fans are eager to see a star studded rotation of Roy Oswalt, Mark Buehrle, Chien-Meng Wang, Jeremy Bonderman and, now, Pettitte.
Caskey has obviously not given up on the 2007 season: "Pettitte's $8.75 million salary scared teams away, but makes Brooklyn so much better. No offense to Duke or Davies, but having Pettitte in the fifth spot will help my desires to contend. Besides the price was right. Montero was a good player in the organization but didn't really find his spot. " Caskey insisted,"Yeah, we are worried about being 9 games back. Who wouldn't be? Hopefully, Pettitte will stabilize my rotation and Davies and Duke can assist my team through long relief and the occasional spot start."
Many journalists speculate that the Moabs are not done wheeling and dealing. As in previous posts, it is believed Caskey will deal some of the organization's young talent for some veteran help.
