RHP Tim Bausher, who spent one day in the big leagues with Boston a couple of years back but did not get into a game, could do no better than an independent league deal with Nashua (NH) of the Can-Am League.

 

New Jersey of that same league allowed RHP Matt Hammons to sign with a Mexican League team.

34-year-old RHP David Manning (yes, those were days of a bygone big league Brewer era, weren't they?) still hanging around, signs with the independent Northern League's Calgary Vipers. Beats working for a living...

Trent Durrington was called to pitch in a 12-6 blowout of the Pawtucket Red Sox vs the Buffalo Bisons. After walking in two runs, he was able to record one out.

 

In the bottom of the 9th, the Bisons were able to rally for 5 runs to give Trent the victory.

de la Cruz had just broken through to appear on the Power 50 at the time of his release.

Brian Wolfe has been called up by the Blue Jays. His first appearance will be his major league debut. He was signed as a minor league FA in May 2005, pitched for Brevard County and Huntsville, then was traded for Corey Koskie in January 2006.

Still finalizing the more formal Alumni Thread with links (I could use a vacation from 'real" work to help complete such things), but Mr. Breslow, the LOOGY who also gets RH batters could be had via trade, I imagine -- there's just no place in Boston for him, he'll be out of options next spring.

 

Be sure to check out the splits (all in short reliever small sample chunks, granted), and also the 2006 numbers at bottom of link:

Craig admits he turned his career around after his Brewer release, so it's not as if the Brewers completely whiffed on him.

I don't know if this is the best spot for this, and I apologize if this is already known, but former Brewers 5th Round pick Jarrad Page is now a safety for the Kansas City Chiefs.

 

 

Rotoworld says that after a strong rookie year he is in line to be the starting safety next year. I guess he made the right decision by going to UCLA.
