Pickoff Moves
Roster Notes
- Rotoworld reports that the Rangers have come to a one-year, $725,000 agreement with lefty reliever Brian Shouse, which is probably good news for the Angels.
- Reserve outfielder Mark DeRosa also got a one-year contract with the Rangers, for $675,000.
- The Padres continue to lose their minds -- Dave Roberts in left? Mark Loretta for a backup catcher whose principle claim to fame is how well he catches knuckleballs? Brian Lawrence for Vinny Castilla? -- and are allegedly close to signing former Ranger Doug Brocail.
- The Rangers got Vicente Padilla from the Phillies for a PTNBL.
- The Snakes signed Damion Easely to a one-year, $700,000 contract. It's likely he'll be second fiddle at shortstop.
All-Blyleven At Baseball Analysts
Rich and friends -- like Rob Neyer, for one -- are going at it at the Baseball Analysts, stumping for Bert Blyleven's inclusion to the Hall of Fame. Coming up will be Dayn Perry and Jeff Peek after that. Can't wait.Look Out, Steve, Or Plaschke'll Ride You, Too
I read today that USC receiver Steve Smith can use a computer and did so to find out how Reggie Bush was doing in the Heisman voting. Expect a scathing denouncement by Bill Plaschke in the coming week... or is that only reserved for guys who can't crush writers like a bug?
Comments:
I though "Matt Bush" was some sort of LA thing that I was missing out on. Like a way to refer to both of them
That got posted too quickly, but now that I look at again, other than adding a period, the thought was probably done anyway.
Matt Bush was the Padres' number one draft pick in the 2004 draft. He was the guy they got instead of Jered Weaver; it was supposed to be a feel-good local-boy-gets-drafted-by-his-hometown-team story, but then he got into trouble by assaulting a bouncer at a San Diego nightclub. He's been out of trouble since then, but his record in the minors hasn't been anything special.
