The Charlotte Comets traded Eli Gabriel http://whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=462485 to the Pawtucket Paw Paw for Chad Ratliff http://whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=1036277 . Gabriel had been riding the pines for the Comets and the chance to play full time should have had Eli hammering the ball but Gabriel's debut with Pawtucket is off to a slow start. In exchange for Gabriel the Comets obtained the services of former st round pick Ratliff. Ratliff is also off to a slow start at AA. However, scouting on Ratliff projects him as a dominant ML power hitter.
Whether Gabriel is enough to push Pawtucket into the playoffs this year is debatable. However, Radcliff will help keep the Comets on top for years. In this writers opinion The Comets will benefit most from this trade.
Please post your assessments of the trade.
In the coming week the owners will gather at the all-star game - look for some major trade activity as teams jockey for playoff position.
