The Nashville Hustlers and Oklahoma City Sooners have swapped first basemen. Shan-Bo Ruan heads to Oklahoma. Danny Aguilar heads to Nashville. Aguilar is an 11 year pro with good contact skills. He has average power and makes regular contact....something I couldn't say about Ruan...just got tired of watching him strikeout in huge situations. Aguilar is a league-average first baseman.
