McAnulty Demoted, Rincon Promoted

July 9th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Two former Wizards in the news today, but going in different directions.

McAnulty hit .207 with three home runs and 13 RBIs for the Padres, but it wasn’t enough. They sent him outright to Portland. It was one of several moves the team made in an effort to improve upon a miserable season.

But there is good news for former Wizard Juan Rincon, who had spent his entire career in the Twins’ organization until earlier this season. After being release by Minnesota, Rincon signed a minor league deal with Cleveland in June. The reliever had a 6.75 ERA in four appearances for Buffalo, but got a call-up when a spot opened up as a result of the trade of CC Sabathia. He has a career record of 30-26 with a 3.69 ERA in 386 games.

“Sometimes a change of scenery is good [for a player],” manager Eric Wedge said. “There’s reason to believe he’s going to have the same velocity and life on his pitches as he had before”  [source: MLB.com]
