The Los Angeles Bruins today, finalized a deal to bring Lee Brouthers from the Madison Bombers, along with $6M to Los Angeles.
The deal caught the Los Angeles fans off guard, as the team wasn't agressively looking to acquire another bat but, "When Brouthers became available, it was really a no brainer. We've had our eyes on him for quite some time. " added Mike Brouillette
Brouthers is likely to slide into centerfield, moving Augusto Pena to rightfield, and Cooper Newell back to left field where he's a much better defender. Brouthers has near unlimited range.
Currently, he's hitting at a .268/.354/.491 with 6hrs, and 18rbis. Last season, Brouthers .313/.396/.546 with 29hrs 124rbis, preecded by a .291/.385/.472 20hrs 104rbis season. He's stolen eight bases both years.
Brouthers should make his debut on the 16th of May which is the finale vs the New Orleans Looters, as he's still has to pass his initial round of tests.
