Moria-Ravenhill Deal

MORIA - In a trade agreed to by the parties near the end of the season, the Darkwings and Miners have swapped players. Ravenhill will get OF Denaigol 'Hitman' Denaihir, SP Feanor Greycloak and minor league OF Masin Oathworker. Moria will get OF Shaglakh the Devastator, SP Andrack Antslammer and IF Brandewyn of Rohan.

Denaihir had an excellent year for the resurging Miners team, hitting .281 with 28 HR and 109 RBI and being named to the Shire All-Star team. Meanwhile, Greycloak's performance was spotty. While his record was 8-10 with a 4.18 ERA, he hurled a shutout, and 12 of his 23 starts were considered Quality Starts. The 22-year-old Oathworker was Moria's 1st round draft pick in 2010 and hit .290 for AAA Long Cleve.

On Ravenhill's side of the deal, Shaglakh, known as the "Fox", is known more for his fielding and speed than his bat, winning the 2012 Legolas in RF, but he hit .333 last season. Anstlammer has always been an excellent pitcher until this season. Moria is betting that his 9-13 record and 4.11 ERA were a bump in the road. Up until this season, Andrack had never had a losing season or an ERA above 4. And Brandewyn of Rohan is a solid young utility infielder.
