Gary SouthShore Railcats News Release


GARY, Ind. - The RailCats traded away one of the team's top on-base and stolen base threats, sending David Cooper to the Trois Rivieres Aigles in the Can-Am League in exchange for cash considerations.

Cooper played 90 games for the RailCats in 2012, hitting .266/.396/.332. He matched Adam Klein for the team lead with 30 stolen bases in 42 attempts, which was tied for seventh-best in the American Association. Cooper was also in the top 10 in the league with 53 walks. He ranked second on the team in on-base percentage (.396) and third in runs (42).

Cooper, 27, was mostly utilized as a second baseman and shortstop during his lone season with the 'Cats. He notably stole home in a game against Wichita on June 13 and also had an astounding 21 bunt singles on the year.

In a separate move, the RailCats sent recently-acquired infielder Mike Demperio to the Schaumburg Boomers of the Frontier League in exchange for a player to be named later.

RailCats Opening Day will be on Thursday, May 16 against the Lincoln Saltdogs at U. S. Steel Yard.
