Everett Comes To South Carolina

During the World Series, the Bomber's agreed to a deal to bring heavyweight slugger, 31 Chance Everett into the mix. 

Everett the owner of 106 career home runs brings with him a bonafide ABL resume with him to South Carolina.  The Bombers become Everett's 5th team in 3 full seasons, but could quite possibly be his last ABL stop.  Chance is under contract for this upcoming season, 2015, and under a team option in 2016.

Everett becomes a legitimate force in the middle of the Bomber lineup that already features Orlando Bustamante, Gunner Smart, Stephen Jackson and rookie phenom Roy O'Quinn. 

Going to SoCal will be rookie CF'er Ken Forryan, former 2013 1st Round Draft Choice, and 20 year old, 2B Rick Grant.  Coming back to South Carolina will be 24 year old reliever Joe "Psych" Ward.

Ward has shown exceptional numbers in AAA over the last two seasons and should offer the Bombers much needed depth in trying to contain the out of control bullpen results that have been seen over the last 3 seasons. 

GM Gary Altman has said, "The bullpen and starting rotation remain a concern and will be, until significant has been realized.  Offensively, we believe we are as good as any team in the Billy Martin Division right now and that's all we have to concern ourselves with to get where we want to be.

Other deals will be explored strengthening our organizational depth and there does appear to be a Starting Pitcher or two that could be on the market that would be very attractive to us.  Ownership has stepped up and given us an additional $7M, and based on revenue sharing we will have another 4M to push out towards payroll.

The Bomber's will also be exploring other trading partners to see if we can move some of our surplus to fill other needs."

2015 looks to be a season of great promise for the Bombers.
