JAX GM CLIFTON MAKES GOOD ON MEAS SHOPFEST
All-Time SIMBL HR/RBI Leader Goes To Chicago GM Jackson’s Open Arms
Once happy-turned disgruntled superstar Eddie Meas (above) has his trade wishes granted and goes to a contending Chicago Hitmen team in the SL Central. Meas, the SIMBL's only 40/40 player to date, goes to the Hitmen and Jacksonville receives two top pitching prospects in Earl Hendrickson and Neil Posey, plus aging veteran 2B Bill Lucas and $5,000,000.
(SIMBL League Office)- Jacksonville GM Brandon Clifton has made good on his shopping of two-time All-SIMBL leftfielder Eddie Meas and has dealt the disgruntled three-time All-Star to the Chicago Hitmen late tonight. The trading of Meas is the biggest name in the SIMBL to be traded since the league was founded and league play started in the 2005 season.
The Prophets receive two top starting pitcher prospects in Earl Hendrickson and Neil Posey. Posey went 11-4 with a 4.82 ERA in 25 starts last season for the Hitmen and was a SL Rookie Of The Year candidate but has been relegated to AA ball this season. Hendrickson, 24, and Posey, 23, both possess immense talent in control and movement and Posey is a 4.0 star-rated prospect.
Also thrown into the deal was a former 3rd round pick in the SIMBL Inaugural Draft, 34 year-old 2B Bill Lucas, and $5,000,000 to Jacksonville. Lucas, originally drafted by Oregon and traded to Chicago last season, was a disappointment for Hitmen GM Randy Jackson after being injured and out for most of the season after the trade. Lucas took some talent bumps after the injury and is hitting .191 with 8 HR and 39 RBI after a 33 HR 107 RBI season in 2005 before the injury.
Meas was finally dealt after many trade offers by and to Clifton. After the trade rumors were made official, they made Meas demand a parting with Clifton and the team that drafted him in the second round in 2005.
“It was a tough road, but we are happy with our return on Eddie,” said Clifton. “We now have a great young pitching nucleus to build around and in our minds, pitching wins you championships. We only wish Eddie the best in Chicago. No matter how high and long he soars, Eddie will always be remembered as a Prophet and by Prophet fans.”
Jackson, who wheeled and dealed last season at the trade deadline which helped his team to be the hottest team after the 2006 All-Star break and to break away to win the SL Central title and get to the SLCS last year, was like a little kid on Christmas morning when contacted about the deal.
“We are happy to welcome a player of Eddie’s magnitude to Chicago,” said Jackson. “We have a legitimate superstar to replace an aging Galen Dinan in our outfield. We expect big things from one of the best players in the SIMBL."
Meas made some brief comments at the airport as he headed to his new teammates in Chicago. "It's a relief that all of the trade talk clouds above me have finally parted. It will be a pleasure to leave that new GM in Jacksonville. I planned on remaining a Prophet for the rest of my career. Now, I will devote myself to punishing that team for the rest of my career on the field."
Chicago and Jacksonville both were expected to contend for divisional titles this season but are in the rearview mirrors in their divisions currently after slower than expected first halves of the 2007 SIMBL season.
