	Team Notes Hillbillies move (10/17) After poor fan support in their second season, Kentucky Hillbillies owner Paul Barbosa announced that he will move the team to Tijuana, Mexico, and rename the team the Tijuana Banditos. Barbosa met with Mexican president Vicente Fox and announced the move at a press conference. "We are very happy to finally have a DMBL team in Mexico" said Fox. The Banditos are the third international team in the DMBL, along with Vatican City and Vancouver. This is not the first international endeavor for Barbosa. In 1997, Barbosa entered the league with the Lisbon Diabos from Portugal, though he later sold the team to investors in Philadelphia and the team became known as the Eagle Wings. "Portugal just couldn't get behind baseball" said Barbosa in a 1998 interview. Clubhouse Rumblings (5/15)More lineup shakeups from manager Tim Teufel in hopes of awakening the ball club: Andruw Jones will now bat first against lefties. Vlad Guerrero was moved to the outfield so that Rafael Palmeiro can take the DH spot and allow Derrick Lee to play first. "Hopefully some of these moves will spark our offense" said Teufel. Meanwhile, utility man Melvin Mora was released from the roster to make room for second baseman Bret Boone. "Boony gives us an improvement to our defense that we need now more than we need Melvin's flexibility." said GM Paul Barbosa. Boone was sent down to Lexington to get some at-bats before joining the main squad. "It's been a while since I've face DMBL-quality pitching, so I need to work out some of the kinks" said Boone at the press conference. "Although I've been playing in many softball tournaments during my absence, I want to make sure that I can make a big impression when I am called up."
