Back in 2009 the Spurs rolled the dice and went for it to make a play-off run. While DFW got some much needed help, so did other teams. VFS made some great deals acquiring 3B- C.Jones from LCC, 1B- A.Huff from ILL and pitching help in B. Sheets from GCG and J. Litch from TRY. MSU made some minor deals to shore up some weak areas. It was like they [teams like VFS and MSU] were trading rifles with the Calvary, while DFW was getting bows and arrows from the Indians.

DFW traded their 2010 1st to ILL for LF- D. Dejesus and relievers C. Marmol and J. Carlson. [A Vermont Newspaper, you remember the kind you read articles in and stats out of years ago, once ran an article that DFW would trade a 1st Rd pick well in the words of Charleston Heston 'When you prey it from my cold dead hands'!] See you can teach an old dog new tricks. They traded their 3rd Rd pick to LVI for M.Derosa and a 4th Rd pick for R.Spilsbough and M. Fontenot, both fighting injuries, [aka NASBL translation almost out of ab's]

The Spurs got off to a very fast in 09 in BK-1 and had the top record in the Less Filling Division. Everything was going DFW's way, which lead to a false sense of expectations. Skipper Red Robbins said, 'we knew we had a good team, however could we keep up this pace'. The answer was 'NO'. During BK-2 teams like Miami and Seattle started playing better baseball and past DFW in the standings. DFW had to trade for help. However the Fight Sioux had the same game plan and executed it much better than the Spurs. These events good or bad are what led to the state of DFW today.
