Proving the old adage that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, the Witch Kings announced today the acquisition of 31-year old SS Arwauden Varele from the Numenor Kings in exchange for 25-year old minor league LHP Polly Tumbletoe and a 5th round draft pick. “This isn’t the deal of the century,” acknowledged the Witch Kings, “but we think it will improve the direction of both teams.”
A check of his lifetime stats shows Varele has a career .287 average with 231 hits, 57 doubles, 4 triples, 16 home runs and 99 RBIs. To date he has scored 114 runs, walked 70 times and stolen 0 bases.
