Broncos make moves; Colts' Lively bought out by Giants

Here's the game story from last night's doubleheader.

The Broncos had today off. They'll leave for Amarillo at midnight to face a Dillas club that has defeated them 8 out of 12 games.

Late this afternoon, the Broncos made a few transactions that they expect to have an immediate impact.

They signed infielder Matt Imwalle and outfielder Sean Gamble, son of former Major Leaguer Oscar Gamble.

Sean was drafted by the Phillies in the sixth round of the 2004 Amateur draft.

Imwalle is a switch-hitter. Gamble is a lefty. Manager Dan Shwam had explicitly said on Tuesday that he desired more left-handed bats.

Well, now they've got 'em.

Also, to make room for the newbies, the Broncos traded infielder Matt Lawman to Harlingen to complete the earlier trade which brought them Luany Sanchez (pretty one-sided deal if you ask me).

They also inactivated relief pitcher Rhett Barber.

In other news around ULB, the Colts' Mitch Lively's contract was bought by the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.

Here's the release from the Colts' website.

Lively is no joke, and was lights-out against the Broncos when he faced them this weekend. I remember Colts broadcaster Frank Mentesana telling me that manager Doc Edwards was keeping a close eye on Lively since he knew he would eventually be bought out.

If anyone expected it to be this soon, I'm not sure.
