16 years is too short, this idiot should never see the light of day again.

The Giants cut all three, which surprises me since Hennessey looked pretty good in his outings, and Correia was a pretty solid reliever.

I finally found confirmation that Carter Bell signed with Oregon State instead of the Giants after San Francisco drafted him in the 22nd round in June. Just in case anyone else wanted to know or is as obsessive about this as I am.

Bell will get a chance to start for the Beavers this spring because the incumbent second baseman Garrett Nash is leaving the school to do a Mormon mission.

From Baseball America's college blog: He has the body control and athletic ability to play the position in college. His 7.0-second speed in the 60 and below-average range likely make a move to third a necessity for pro ball, and his bat is light for the draft at a corner spot.

I really wanted Bell (duh) and given the dearth of options at third, this new information is sort of a drag.

I found this linked to on driveline mechanics. Not a whole lot of new information, but some interesting stuff with his curveball grip.

That guy at the bottom is only 27 we should roll the dice with him! (P.S. SARCASM)

Ya......Wow

Pretty good read about two completely different groups united by lovely game of baseball. Too bad they're Yankees fans though.

"Over the last three years, the Rays have gone about the task of stockpiling young arms and legs to fit their pitching, speed and defense blueprint."
