Thursday, May 28th, 2009The last remainign former Wizards player from the Minnesota Twins era who is still with Minnesota, Michael Cuddyer recently hit for the cycle. He’ having a pretty good season too.

Former Wizards Likely to Debut in 2009 – Part III
Thursday, March 5th, 2009This is the thrid and final part of a series on former Fort Wayne Wizards that I think will debut in Major league Baseball during the 20009 season. In part one, I presented the “sure things” who I think will break camp with their parent clubs or get called up relatively early. Part two presented [...]
Fort Fragments: TinCaps, Wizards and Local Ties
Saturday, February 28th, 2009Tickets for the TinCaps home opener at Parkview Field sold out in 28 minutes. In actuality, there were still a few lawn section tickets available, but all the fixed seat tickets sold out fast. Glad I got mine. The new on-lien ordering system is great.
Another blogger to watch this season is Anna Lynch McClaryMc. I [...]
Matt Bush Update – Padres Career All But Over
Saturday, February 7th, 2009I thought about simply tagging this onto the previous post on Matt Bush – but then I thought more about it and wanted to give it proper attention.

What’s David Freese’s Chances with Cardinals in 2009?
Saturday, January 24th, 2009One storyline I’ll be watching closely in Spring Training and throughout the 2009 is how former Wizard infielder, David Freese, develops and when/if he cracks the St. Louis Cardinals lineup.
He was originally drafted in the ninth round of the 2006 amateur entry draft by San Diego with the 273rd overall pick. He went right to work, hitting [...]
With Varitek, Ross and Cash Out, is Kottaras In?
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008With the Boston Red Sox seemingly parting ways with Jason Varitek, David Ross joining the Braves and having the Yankees snagging the now former Red Sox catcher, Kevin Cash, today, former Wizards catcher Goerge Kottaras is seemingly the incumbant Red Sox catcher. For now anyway.
Kottaras sports a hefty .200 batting average in 3 games and 5 at-bats [...]

Saturday, November 29th, 2008[memedex: pollid#488374]
I know it is like crazy early to start talking about Spring Trianing, but I couldn’t think of a better poll to test out the new feature on this blog.
I’ll probably be doing polls more frequently if I get enough participation and the service works out well.
