COMBS TO THE BIG APPLE

Casey Combs


New York 2B Casey Combs is set to make his Nipper debut tonight at home against Monterrey. Combs was dealt earlier in the week from Rochester to New York, in exchange for ML SPs Terry Henry and Emilio Mieses. It was pretty surprising, to say the least, especially considering how well Combs played in Rochester. Combs was an integral part of the Dweller offense for their title runs, and it will be interesting to see who Rochester gets to make up for Combs' offensive production.

What is Rochester's loss, is most certainly New York's gain. Combs will fit real nice into that Nipper lineup. NY is already 3rd in the ML with a .285 team average, and 1st in the ML in HR. Combs' presence will only add to that. On the flip end, Rochester gets two above-average arms who will figure to see a large amount of innings. Mieses could be the best piece of this deal, who is penciled in as their 4th SP for the time being. Mieses has the potential to be an all-star caliber SP, while Henry could end up being an important long-relief option out of the bullpen. Any way you slice it, this trade will help out both clubs.
