Sunday, May 25th, 2008With the Harrison Square development, many folks have asked me what will happen with regards to the evolution of the Wizards team. They ask me if there will be a name change, league change, what the stadium name will be (presumably if there is one), if there will be a change in Major League affiliates [...]
Don Ehrke Discusses the MiLB Experience
Saturday, May 24th, 2008I recently came across a Minor League Baseball retrospective by Don Ehrke. In it, he discusses some early Wizards memories:
When we lived in Fort Wayne, however, Sean Burroughs played the better part of a season with the Wizards. He tore the cover off the ball, but even at the Single A level, his lack of [...]

Saturday, May 24th, 2008If the Padres have begun to make “wholesale changes” in the big league lineup, it will undoubtedly have impact on the farm clubs as well. We saw the first of those changes earlier in the week, and now they have made some moves to the Wizards roster as well.
Right handed pitcher, Steve Delabar was released [...]

A Dual Injury Inning and Call-Up for Wells
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008After losing their pitcher and catcher to injuries in the same inning on different plays, you have to wonder what the Padres are gong to do for an encore. At the same time, usually reliable closer, Trevor Hoffman, has not been himself this season.
For the last few days, there has been some speculation about Padres [...]
Headley Continues to Impress, Waits for Call Up
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008A while back, I suggested the Padres throw in the towel. It’s time for prospects to show what they can do, and some of them have hit their strides at the right time.
The most obvious is one that many had predicted would have a roster spot coming out of Spring Training. Yes, Chase Headley. The [...]

Royals Lock Up Soria Through 2012
Sunday, May 18th, 2008I’ve blogged a lot about Joakim Soria on this blog because he may go down to be one of the best Rule-5 pickups in MLB history. Just days after the Royals plucked him from the Padres organization after being left unprotected in the 2006 Rule-5 Draft, Soria pitched a perfect game in the Mexican League. [...]
The (Fred) Jones’s
Sunday, May 18th, 2008Today, I saw a post at Fort Wayne Observed about Washington High School retiring Fred Jones’s number 23 in memoriam. You may recall that Fed Jones was killed by gunshot at an off-campus party.
This is not the same Fred Jones from Churubusco who attended the University of Evansville and was later drafted by the New [...]
