Neanderthals and Fishbiscuits Announce New Trade

Sluggers Jim Thome and Rocky Colavito will be switching teams in a old fashion, straight up challenge trade between the La Chappelle-aux-Saints Neanderthals and the Otherton Fishbiscuits. ATB XI has seen only two trades this year, both between these two squads.

As a part time DH for La Chappelle, Colavito is batting .264 / .347 / .512 with 10 HR and 24 RBI in 42 games. His numbers versus lefties are even more impressive - .291 / .374 / .547.

Thome has struggled immensely this year, batting only .207 / .297 / .393 in 60 games, though he does have 17 HR and 50 RBI. He was recently benched by Otherton after batting .162 during Sim 6.

No doubt, La Chapelle hopes Thome returns to form. Neanderthal owner Justin P selected Thome for his squad last year, and the DH socked 37 HR's and drove in 112 in 131 games.
