Takuya Yamasaki (.271/6/28 in 229 ABs in 2008) is a good playe and has been solid for us since we acquired him from San Francisco back in 2007.

But, we decided to deal him, along with reliever Jacob Roberts and a prospect to Keokuk for 34-year old right fielder and Massachusetts native Frank Lord.

Lord is a future hall of famer with 650 career home runs and a career .296 hitter. The Malden, MA native has played his entire career in Keokuk and has one year left on his career, plus a player option for 2010.

He hit 30 HRs last year with 97 RBI and a .258 average. He could very well be on the decline to some degree, but we believe getting him and bringing him back home will invigorate the fan base AND help him as he heads towards 700 career home-runs and beyond.
