Burlington, VT
The Vermont Fighting Sioux are at it again, this time sending star pitcher John Lackey to the Georgia Roadkill. In return, 'Kill GM Johnny Miller coughed up #1 and #3 picks, along with SP Brandon Looper. The move now gives the Sioux 7 picks in the first 3 rounds of the 2009 draft (2 #1s, 3 #2s and 2 #3s).
Miller gets a staff ace with a NASBL career record of 49-24 with an ERA near 4.00. Parting with Lackey was a tough choice for Vermont, but in Sioux Nation this year it's all about next year. Lackey's utility next year is unknown as Vermont doctors were unable to predict continued success for Lackey in light of recent tricep issues.
Bye-bye John, we will miss you.
