Kouz Kouz !!!

The Armada drafted highly-touted third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff this morning in the first round of the 2007 Minor-League Draft. Minor League Director Edgar Martinez praised Kouzmanoff's maturity, and raw talent. "He may be on the Big Club this season. He's that good !!!" stated Martinez.

Team insiders say that Kouzmanoff may replace Shea Hillenbrand after his one-year contract ends.

It's a "Full House"

The Armada completed their Major-League Roster on Thursday, with the signing of 3 free-agents. The team also announced a trade on Thursday that brings Closer Chad Cordero into the fold, where he joins BJ Ryan as The Armada's Dynamic Duo of Closers.

The Armada also introduced their new Designated Hitter, Travis Hafner, along with First-baseman, Paul Konerko, and Outfielder Matt Holliday. "These three should a lot of offensive punch to The Armada this season", stated Manager Ken Oberkfell. "We had been concentrating for so long on out pitching, that ownership was a little concerned that we had a weak offensive threat. We hope we have aided in that area", he added.

The Armada Winter Warm-up starts tomorrow morning. Many players, coaches, and ownership will be present. Everyone attending with paid admission will receive two autograph tickets, for a random Armada player. Tickets are sold-out for this year's event.
