Trades, Trades & Trades II a/k/a Creepers Go Trade 'Tazy

1. The Brighton Creepers traded their pick in the 2nd Supplemental Draft to the Castro Pirates to reacquire the Creepers first pick in the 1st Supplemental Draft, which the Pirates had acquired in the offseason.

2. The Brighton Creepers sent their recently re-acquired 1st pick in the 1st Supplemental and Mark Teahen, KC, OF to the Baltimore Bees for Adam Lind, TOR, OF, Glen Perkins, AAA, SP and the Bees' 2nd pick in the 5th Supplemental.

3. The Brighton Creepers send the Beltway Buckos Curt Schilling and the recently acquired Bees' 2nd pick in the 5th Supplemental Draft for Buckos' pick in the 2nd round of the First Supplemental. Buckos release Marlon Byrd.

4. The Brighton Creepers traded their pick in the 2nd Supplemental Draft to the Warthogs for their pick in the 2nd round of the First Supplemental. Creepers do not actually have their 2nd pick, but they do have the Brewers', so Carp Notes is recording this as the Brewers' pick in the 2nd Supplemental. Don't like it, take it up with Albert Belle over at his Funhouse.
