Well the first trade of the Baseball Winter Meetings went down yesterday, and it involved a former South Bend Silver Hawks pitcher.
Brian Bruney ('01-'02 Silver Hawks pitcher) was traded from the New York Yankees to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later.
The article points out that Bruney missed a lot of the season with an injury, but do you know where he places the blame for the sore arm? The umpires.
According to the article, "The 27-year-old right-hander was 5-0 with a 3.92 ERA in 44 regular-season appearances but pitched just once for the Yankees from mid-April until mid-June because of a strained right elbow, an injury he blamed on time he spent warming up during an umpires' video review."
