Seattle Acquires Veteran Hurler

Seattle and Antelope Valley completed a trade wherein Seattle picked up longtime pitcher Clarence Craig and the Raptors picked up relief prospect Glenn Carlton.

"We think Clarence will be a good role model for our clubhouse," said Seattle owner/GM Mack Shultz. "Carlton will be a good pitcher for the Raptors for a long time, but Clarence is a gritty veteran who brings lots of gravitas."

Apparently gravitas these days is equivalent to an 0-8 record and a 6.45 ERA. Onlookers speculate that this deal may be part of the growing dementia seen in the Seattle executives.

Seattle and Antelope Valley also exchanged draft picks in the deal, with Seattle getting a third-round pick in next year's draft and Antelope Valley acquiring a seventh rounder.
