2007 Trades
Draft day: Picks for pick deal...
Sometime: Traded Jeremy Hermida for Milton Bradley; there draft picks involved too.
Sometime: Traded Sheets for Ryan Garko.
11/03/2007: Traded my other 2008 season first round pick (obtained by trade with the Strangegloves) and an 8th rounder for the 2008 season to Bristol for pitcher Ben Sheets and a 5th rounder for the 2008 season.
10/29/2007: Traded Andruw Jones, Pat Neshek and a 1st round pick for the 2008 season to the South Side Soldiers for power hitter Jim Thome, utility player Mike Lamb and a 2008 3rd round pick. The deal supplies the Lumberjacks with much needed power for the 2007 season as Andruw Jones and Travis Hafner both had off-years power-wise.
Throughout 2008: Way too many!!!!
2006
2006 WINNER OF THE COOL PAPA BELL DIVISION!!!!!!!!!!
Formerly the Brossard Batons, owned by Howard Trager . The Batons (37-39 at the time) were acquired by Sam Murgie from the league office in the middle of the 2006 season and promptly moved to Eighty Four PA (20 miles south of Pittsburgh) and renamed to the Eighty Four Lumberjacks.
Key players of the 2006 Batons were Cy Young, Andruw Jones, Chipper Jones, Travis Hafner and Lance Berkman, along with promising youngsters Russell Martin, Brandon Phillips and Jhonny Peralta. By the third week in July, only Martin, Hafner and the Jones brothers remained. Cy, Lance and the youngsters were replaced by the likes of Kelvim Escobar, Torii Hunter, Chuck Klein, Trevor Hoffman, Edgar Renteria, Mariano Rivera and Roger Clemens.
On August 5th the Lumberjacks were 56-56. The 84 team then won 5 straight; then went on to win 26 of their next 30 to get to 87-60 on September 13th to gain control of first place in the CP Division.
84 ended up finishing first in the Cool Papa Bell Division with a 95-67 record (third best overall).
As the Lumberjacks, the team went 57-28' an incredible .671 or a 108-win whole-year pace!
