PLAYING IN NEW YORK, AMON MAKES THE SHOW
NEW YORK - The New York Mets are in rebuilding mode, so when they had the opportunity to acquire Anthony Amon from the Oregon Emeralds this past off-season, the club jumped at the opportunity.

"We couldn't let a young arm like that languish," said Mets GM Fuzzy Carter. Amon is in the starting rotation and has pitched in nine major league games so far this season, starting two and has a record of 1-1, with a 1.71 ERA, with 17 strikeouts in 21 innings.

"We know he'll be a strong player, he'll get chances here to start and show us what he's capable of." said Carter.

FOPPERT RETURNS
TOKYO - Jesse Foppert is excited to know that after being out for five weeks, the Tokyo Aeros have not only been better than when he was playing, but they're now in first. "It's a huge relief, but I'm glad to be able to get back into the game in and help them out. We've got a great thing going here and I just want to contribute," said Foppert.

AEROS HAVE DANCER IN THEIR HEAD
After Foppert's injury, DC looked around the league to find another starter to fill a slot in the rotation. Despite the excellent play of starters like Zach Hammes, acquired from D.C. earlier in the year, DC says, "I'm adamant about setting this team up for success and we want to ensure the club has no problems when it gets to later in the season. If these players are availible, we want to pull the trigger, but not to do it, just for the sake of making a deal" he said.

He was also reportedly interested in Houston's Ajani Russell, but later rebuffed offers from the club, when they asked for too much in return, plus paying is $19m annual salary.
