Unprecedented Move

Big rumblings was heard today in AA ball as the Cleveland coaching staff threatened to quit. Details are somewhat sketchy but it was apparent that the walk out was averted after 3 hours of management negotiations. What happened after the sit down was unprecedented, as Cleveland management suddenly moved all the Low A position players to AA and sent the AA squad to Low A. The move also included this years first round pick, Trace Wallace. Bart Ross, who has been MIA at the AA level as of late, was the only player spared the indignity as he was sent to AAA and greeted fans with a 2 for 4 effort.

Tonights game was sold out as fans jammed the stadium to actually see potential stars in action as opposed to the rejects that had lined the roster. The North leading Brewers were in town, who laughed and joked about the move before the game. After the game, the Brewers had a bewildered look as the new look Cleveland bunch pounded out 19 hits in their 14-6 winning debut.
