Proving the old adage that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, the Royals announced today the acquisition of 36-year old RHP Arweden the Cow-catcher from the Lothlorien Lumberjacks in exchange for 21-year old minor league RF Ignub Propwarrior, 22-year old minor league RHP Miilaethorn Elilmalad, and a 3rd round draft pick. “This isn’t the deal of the century,” acknowledged the Royals, “but we think it will improve the direction of both teams.”
This year, the Cow-catcher has 6 saves, totaled 41 innings, allowed 33 base hits and fashioned a 2.20 ERA while racking up 42 strikeouts and a record of 1 win and 2 losses.
