Shake Up in the Great Lakes Division? / Olivet Trade Block

Fresh off the news that Lance Berkman would be dealt out of Gaylord, another tidbit has leaked and it appears Andre Ethier could be the next G.L. outfielder dealt once the Winter Meetings begin. Ethier spent only a couple months with the Eagles after coming over in a deal with "Big Brother" before the trading deadline.

Another name that keeps surfacing on the rumor mill is Billy Butler however this is all speculation since GM Baker has kept things close to the vest this offseason.

What the front office HAS said however is the availability of Francisco Liriano, Edwin Jackson, and JA Happ. The team looks to clear up one of the 2yr contracts these three starting pitchers currently hold. Draft compensation appears to be what Olivet is looking for in return.

The Great Lakes Division looks to be gunning towards another compelling season; hopefully shedding the tag of the Worst Division in eMLB

The addition of Chris Broskey could liven things up due to past league activities but one has to beg the question, where is he??
