February/March News and Notes

-Luis Ortiz of the Newmarket Mules will miss up to two months after suffering a knee injury this week. Ortiz was placed on the DL and will be replaced on the roster by 28 year old AAA veteran Norbert Heard. Ortiz had gotten off to a 3-14 start in Spring Training, but two of his hits were homeruns.

-Gloucester traded 3B Chris Langley to the Exeter Blue Hawks in exchange for 1B John Ridell. Langley, a three year started for the Fishermen, hit .304 with nine homeruns and 64 RBI last year and is a career .308 hitter with 29 homeruns, while missing just five games in three years. Ridell hit .287 with two homeruns and 11 RBI in just 94 at-bats a year ago.

-The Portland Bulldogs lost CF Carlos Perea for the season as he suffered a torn ACL in a Spring Training game earlier this week. Perea made the all-star team a year ago, hitting .262 with 23 HR and 55 RBI in his first season with the Bulldogs after coming over from Gloucester in 2009 where he hit .291 with 24 HR and 62 RBI.

-Frank Hall and the Exeter Blue Hawks have agreed to a 2 year contract extention worth $399,000 per year. Last year was his finest so far, going 6-0 with a 1.60 ERA and one save in 27 games. He pitched 33 2/3 innings, allowing 36 hits and nine walks, while striking out 21.

-Luis "Deathblow" Hernandez and the Orono Red Riot have come to terms on a new three year contract worth $438,000 per year. Last year, Hernandez was 13-8 with a 3.32 ERA. He started 28 games and pitched 195 1/3 innings, where he allowed 185 hits and 51 walks while striking out 131. Deathblow has a career mark of 27-32 with a 3.45 ERA.

-Vincent Masson and the Peabody Tanners have agreed on a new contract that will pay Masson $871,000 per year. Masson, in his first year with Peabody was 8-8 with a 4.69 ERA in 28 starts. He pitched 176 2/3 innings, striking out 167 and walking 48, while allowing 24 homeruns.

-Richard Kinneir and the Nashua Titans have agreed on a new deal that will keep the 36 year old C in Nashua for two more years and will pay him $2,433,000 a year. While winding down, Kinneir hit .265 with 13 homeruns and 58 RBI last year, his worst as a Titan. His best season came in 2008 where he hit .354 with 41 homeruns and 105 RBI. He is currently 9th on the NEBL all-time homerun list with 77.

-Phil Webb of the Augusta Moose will miss the season with a herniated disc in his lower back that will require surgery. Webb, a year ago, hit .260 with three homeruns and 32 RBI, while stealing 18 bases for the Moose, and is a career .251 hitter in 314 games, all with Augusta.

Before the season starts, I think now would be a good time to show some career leaders in the NEBL at the beginning of year four. All-Time leaders will be next!
