"SHOELESS" JOE JACKSON

.. was an American baseball player who played Major League Baseball in the
early part of the 20th century. He is remembered for his excellent perform-
ance on the field and for his association with the Black Sox Scandal, when members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox participated in a conspiracy to fix
the World Series. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Major League Baseball's first commissioner, banned Jackson from playing after the 1920 season due to
his alleged involvement in the scandal. But for nearly 85 years, fans have
argued as to whether or not the White Sox legend truly deserves such a
stiff penalty, especially when he was acquitted of any wrong doing.

This world is dedicated to Shoeless Joe.

SOURCES: HI PRIEST ON THE MOVE


WHERE IS PRIEST HEADED?


Monterrey, Mexico

Season eight of Shoeless Joe hasn't been exactly what the Monterrey franchise has been expecting. A down year has fans restless, and the franchise higher-ups anxious to do anything to reverse their poor luck. They want to shake things up, and if the reports are true, that's exactly what they're going to do.

Sources are saying that Monterrey SP Hi Priest is on the verge of being dealt. The sources won't divulge just who the other team is, but we have the top three receipients of Hi Priest's services:


This move makes the most sense, as the defending champs would do just about anything to stay on top. Securing the services of Hi Priest would only cement their spot in the playoffs, and beyond.

We're hearing rumblings that Milwaukee could be primed to make a major move. The Naturals have the slimmest of leads in the AL North, and getting Hi Priest into their rotation will definitely separate themselves from Cincinnati and the rest of the pack.

Vancouver had started this season on fire, earning a sizeable lead in the AL West. However, they now find themselves looking up at Salem once again. It's definitely not too late, and getting Hi Priest into a Vancouver uniform would certainly help things out for the VooDoo.


Of course, this is pure speculation.. but these teams are the best bet to land Hi Priest. Which ever of these teams that has the right prospects to deal Monterrey will land themselves one heck of a pitcher.
