The Pittsburgh Pisces today announced the acquisition of infielder John Avelar today from Stockholm. Avelar is expected to be the primary infield backup at third and second. In return, Pittsburgh sent a fifth round pick in next year's draft and minor league "prospect" Duncan Gillis overseas.
"We felt we needed some depth in case of an injury, and John gives us that," said Owner/GM Mack Shultz. "Plus, he'll be an upgraded bat for us as a pinch hitter. All in all, we're pleased to welcome him to the team."
