MIB:Chicago Sox Weekly
Pulled off a major trade that should benefit us in the long term but means we will probably not contend this year.
Traded SP Daniel Atkinson, C Ray Harris, 1B Axl Rose along with MiLB OF's Lenny Dykstra & Vince Coleman to teh Atlanta Rebels for SP Michael Urban, #67 SP Craig Campbell, C Luis Rocha, 1B Erik Carey & minor league OF Damon Thomas.
Urban will stay in the rotation this season but will move to the pen in the offseason.
Rocha gives us a C under contract for 2 yrs as a backup to Zeile for this season and a FA to be next year.
Carey will fill in at 1B & DH. He is a FA after the season.
Campbell gives us a much needed LHP prospect to hopefully join the rotation late 2001.
Damon Thomas is a minor league fill but could surprise some and make the ML roster at some point.

Take your mind and refocus go get a paper write your goals out
Throw your middle fingers to all your haters
