Have been added to the front page.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The return of Jason Smith! Maybe we can trade him for another aging slugger.

[Vinestal]

Mike Harkey was the man! I had such high hopes for that guy, didnt he have some kind of career ending injury?

[USSoccer]

Koyie Hill was a highly pimped C prospect a few years back...

[NorthsideAvenger]

Koyie Hill was a highly pimped C prospect a few years back...

 

Both Koyie Hill and Ben Howard MIGHT be interesting to follow, but it depends on what they do in Spring Training.

 

Is that the same John Webb that was with the Cubs a few yrs back?

Yes, same John Webb. I always liked him.

He got hurt doing cartwheels in the outfield before a game. Ranks right up there with the Sammy sneeze and Jose Cardenal not being able to play because the crickets were too loud the night before and he couldn't sleep.

With Koyie Hill who has played 50 games in the majors along with Reyes, Soto, Fox and the kid we got in the Perez trade, we've stockpiled catchers.

Bench: Jose Cardenal (Chicago Cubs): Also makes the second team, after he missed a game because he was kept awake all night by crickets chirping in his hotel room.

wow .. way too many cubs on that list. speaking of former cubs: (from the same article)

Designated Hitter: Glen Allen Hill (Toronto Blue Jays) – One of the most painful, Hill went on the DL after suffering cuts caused by crashing through a glass table while dreaming that he was being attacked by spiders.

He tore up his knee (that was after he already missed some time with a shoulder injury). It didn't end his career, but he was never the same after that.

Good to see Alan Dunn will now be minor league pitching coordinator...keep rising up the ranks. :)

I think the best part of these announcements is that it looks like we're re-establishing a presence in the Pacific Rim.
