London Loading Up

Knights GM Sean O'Halloran sees an opportunity for his franchise to win the World Series this season and continued to strengthen his team this offseason by adding RF Delmon Young. London has won the Euro division the past two seasons but has failed to bring home the big prize and with RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka, 2B TJ Mackey and SS Jose Reyes all into their last season under contract, O'Halloran agreed to give up some of his teams future in order to win now.
Young, who has spent his whole career in Halifax, is looking forward to his change of address. "The competition will be great over there I'm sure. I was looking for something different as a free agent this winter and its strange how things worked out. And hey, I'm still in the Dominion, right?"
Halifax GM Lars Cain had been shopping Young to the World League teams after matching offers in free agency. "We had been looking to go in a different direction," said Cain. "We wish Young all the best and we're sure he'll do some damage against those powerhouses over there. He'll get to face those teams a lot more often now and won't be the most underrated player in SLB anymore."
Heading to Halifax in the swap are 22 year-old 2B Craig Scott, 22 year-old pitcher Kid Valenzuela and London's 1st round pick in this seasons amateur draft.
The Knights scored 819 runs last season, 5th most in SLB. London's probable starting lineup now is: C J Mauer, 1B J McNulty, 2B T Mackey, 3B D Clemente, SS J Reyes, CF W McFadden, LF J Russell and RF D Young.
