June 29th, 2009 - A few transactions
After last night's thumping I got an email this morning with some player transactions. The funny part is the guys showed up at my office before I even read the email, but we have a couple new additions to the team -
MR - Franquelis Osoria - He signed with the Indians as a free agent, and pitched 60 innings in the majors last year, so I'm not sure why they sent him down to the rookie league. Maybe he'll be able to pitch 8 2/3 innings in tonight's game
1B - Buck Britton - Another free agent signing, he is a first baseman, but can play all the infield positions, and both corner outfield positions. 23 years old and spent last season at the rookie level
RF - Ruben Martinez - 22 year old free agent signing. The plus is he can play outfield. One more and I'll have a full outfield of players that can play the outfield!
MR - Manuel Pena - 18 year old reliever was sent down from the short season A team after posting a 1-2 record with a 6.14 ERA in 14 2/3 innings.
SS - Ricardo Rivera - 17 year old was sent down from short season A after struggling, 1-16, in 6 games
CL - Rob Bryson - 21 year old in fourth season.
C- Adam Abraham - what's a manager to do with just 9 catchers. Luckily they sent me another, a 22 year old who struggled last year in the rookie league, and struggled this year in short season A. At least I've got options when I have my all-catcher game
