BROOKLYN, NY --
The Brooklyn Wolves are pleased to announce that they have acquired 3B Bruce Parker from the Hickory Huskers.
"We've been looking for a future third baseman for a while," said owner Zev Steinhardt. "For a while we had Jonathan Dillow manning the hot corner, and he was OK for us, but we were looking for a young guy who can handle the 3B duties for the decade to come. Bruce is a young guy with a great range at the corner and with a lot of power potential."
However, don't look for Mr. Parker to be playing third base in the big leagues just yet. To see him, you're going to have to go to Brighton Beach (A), where he will work his way up the Wolves' minor league system.
In exchange for Bruce Parker, Hickory gets veteran pitcher Hubert Bustillos. Bustillos is on the all-time leaders list for victories with 62 and is one of the last few original Wolves from the 2002 season.
"We're sorry to be Hubert go," said Steinhardt, "but we decided that we need to get some new young arms in the rotation and he just didn't fit our plans. We certainly wish him success in all he does. Everything he did for the Wolves won't be forgotten."
In addition, Hickory also acquires AAA pitcher Donald Taylor.
