Heck ya!Manny Delcarmen and Zach Stewart (anyone remember him?) have signed with the Atlantic League's New Britain Bees.
He’s memorable because he may just be the worst pitcher I can remember watching. Ever. Granted I’m only 31, but I think Mike Remlinger might be the only one to come close in my lifetime.Heck ya!
Bobby V. 2012 year, 5.2 innings pitched...how can't you remember him?

Apparently he was our get in the Youk trade to the White Sox
There was a week in 1997 where Toby Borland wore a Red Sox uniform and poured gasoline on the few games he was in. I often think of the worst of anything as the Toby Borland Of. He's the pitching equivalent of Cesar Crespo's Sox career. No idea where two of the worst ever are these days, though.He’s memorable because he may just be the worst pitcher I can remember watching. Ever. Granted I’m only 31, but I think Mike Remlinger might be the only one to come close in my lifetime.
They may have released him but he will be pitching for their Double-A club in Manchester. Three of his teammates will be sons of Vladimir Guerrero, Dante Bichette, and Craig Biggio (Jr., Bo, and Cavan, respectively).Blue Jays released old friend Craig Breslow

Lester got down a sacrifice that drove in Ben Zobrist from third for the final run.

Yoan Moncada, 2B, White Sox — Moncada, 22, simply hasn’t adapted to the majors. Through Thursday, Moncada was hitting .184 and had struck out a major league-high 24 times in 49 at-bats. White Sox manager Rick Renteria told reporters that Moncada had been pulling his head up rather than keeping it down through his swing. Moncada hit just .231 with 74 strikeouts in 199 at-bats last season.
See mlb games thread for video if you want.Devin Marrero hit a ball out of the park in fair territory yesterday and was granted only a single . . . As he passed the runner who had been on first between first and second base.
I would think career ending at this point.Season ending knee surgery for Mike Napoli. Torn ACL and meniscus.
I would think career ending at this point.
Love the guy and hate to see him finish like this, but thanks Napoli!
Quote from Papi's agent Fernando Cuza that blows me away, reflecting on that era of Ortiz's career:So, Theo says Big Papi wanted out in 2003? It was either gonna be him or Shea Hillebrand. I think it worked out just fine for all concerned except maybe Shea.

This was the turning point of his career. Right then and there, he decided to put it up a notch. He was fighting for his life. People always ask, "Why is David Ortiz so great under pressure?" That's not pressure. Pressure is living in the Dominican with no income.
