That's strange, because their article on the subject says this: http://www.daytonacubs.com/cgi-bin/dist/news.cgi?id=1 Contradictory! Vento is listed on the (provisional) roster on the Hawks' website: http://boise.hawks.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=t_ros&cid=480&stn=true&sid=t480

Two Dutch 17yr olds signed pro contracts last week: Daan Cornelissen (OF - currently with PSV Eindhoven) with the Pirates and Raoell Kortstam (CF - Amsterdam Diamonds) with the Red Sox. No bonus figures available on my Dutch sources.
There's also a great chance most pages wouldn't be worth reading if that were the case. I think it's a quality vs quantity argument. This thread is top quality IMHO, and I regularly pass here to read up (and I'm sure I'm not the only one to do that).
Draw, with some hijinks: http://www.noshortcorners.com/2009/05/who-do-you-think-you-are-charlton.html Van Damme is a stupid [expletive] - always has been. All of Sclessin (Standard's home ground) will be all over him on Sunday for his stupid behavior. I hope Anderlecht gets destroyed in that game.
As our league ended up being a tie for first, we're going to have a two game playoff for the title - first game is tonight. Standard Liège (with Gooch) @ Anderlecht. As a Bruges fan, I'm rooting for Standard. 8-)
