When will LCC pull the trigger?



Every league has their trigger-happy GM who's a habitual wheeler-n-dealer. From the glory days of Red Auerbach to modern the day madman, George Steinbrenner.

And the NASBL is blessed with Steve Beard (shown at the right at his high school's project graduation party). Upon entering the league Beard has molded LCC in a Dr. Frankensteinian manner, never satisfied and often taking one step forward followed by two steps back.

NASBL.com only contains recent trade data (hmm, wonder if the new commish is trying to hide his trading ways?), but that small sample reveals only four moves by LCC in the last 18 months.

With the Cannibals sitting only 2 games out of first and 1.5 back in the Wildcard race, Beard is either playing possum or this prolific trade machine has run out of steam.

While the recent acquisition of "The Tee" made the waiver wire reports, it lacked the usual pizazz of a Beard move. So what's it gonna be Beardo, the league sits and waits, patiently wondering what rabbit, er turd, you're pulling out of your oversized baseball head next.
