2012-13 Offseason Veteran Player Acquisitions So Far: a Visual Representation



Eight of nine teams have been involved in moving veterans around. Impressive, and that is not touching on the new crop of rookies we are likely to see in the ranks of the Warriors, Belgian, and the Islanders. Big movers in the veterans swap: 1) Squirrels - send three players to three different teams (Ducks, Belgian, El Diablos), and bring in four from two teams (Mattseals, Donkeys). 2) Belgian Wiffles - send four players to three teams (Ducks, El Diablos, Holy Balls), and bring in two (one from both King Friday and the Squirrels). Big winners? Remains to be seen, but the Ducks bringing in Constanti and Castle looks turn an already strong pitching staff into an absolute gauntlet. Of course, the same can be said for the Aces pick up of the 2012 MVP, Bortmas, as well.
