Any info on Walt nolen

[kalarmac]

Not sure if anyone will know this, but I heard some noise that Walt Nolen was picked up by the Tampa Bay organization after his release from the Cub's organization (started in Peoria last year, got promoted right up to AAA). Can you confirm this?

You are correct.

Thanks for the info. I really liked Walt and his family, and am glad he was picked up.

Like you, I had the chance to meet Walt as well. He is a very nice and humble person.

I met him for the first time in Kane County. We were sitting down by the bullpen and I saw him sitting down. This was around the time when PAtterson was on the DL. I asked Walt how EP was doing and we got to talking. About 15-20 minutes later he apologizesto me that he has to go to work and can't continue to talk. Class act all the way :)
