Barber Finds a New Home


After weeks of attempting to deal Marion Barber, Hawaiian Punch finally found a partner: Hirsch's Hitmen. The deal breaks down like this:

To Hawaiian Punch:
Hirsch's Hitmen's 2009 1st Round Draft Pick (4th Overall)

To Hirsch's Hitmen:
Hawaiian Punch's 2009 1st Round Draft Pick (6th Overall)
Marion Barber (RB, Dallas Cowboys)

Hirsch's Hitmen
have been very active this off-season in the hopes of bolstering their roster. They have been building what looks on paper to be a solid team. Only time will tell if these moves pan out.

Hawaiian Punch has done what all great teams should do: deal from strength. With a plethora of RBs on their roster they have parlayed one of them, albeit a good one, that they deemed expendable and have moved up two slots in the 1st round of the 2009 RMFFL Draft.

One wonders if this trade will spur activity in other teams. Many trades have been discussed recently but this is the only one that has come to fruition.
