Around SBN: Mets Add Luis Ayala Bar-right-arrows



Roger "The Rocket" Clemens to Become Huntsville Mascot?

My favorite part is:

"Clemens' contract in Huntsville may not be as lucrative as his former Major League contracts, but it will contain many incentives. In addition to his $25 per game, he will receive meal vouchers redeemable at the concession stands for one hotdog and one soft drink each night, and a 15% employee discount at our team's souvenir store, The Backstop Shop."

Well, that and the fact the new Stars GM is named Buck Rogers.

Buck Rogers

Buck was previously GM of the Brevard County Manatees. (And he has posted on this site.)

He's a promoter nonpareil -- he's got crazy stuff like this going on all the time.

Also, cheese.

Neat

If Buck reads this: I like the crazy stuff - keep it coming!

Brew Crew Ball is made with whole grains and contains bits of real grit. It's the perfect dessert for a quarter-century of futility. Serve it ice-cold by itself or over a fresh Yosting. Guaranteed to enhance your sarcasm and sense of irony!

Featured Poll

Poll
Who is the Brewers' top prospect?
  • Brett Lawrie - Cana-DUH!
  • Mat Gamel - A great pure hitter who could potentially play a position of need.
  • Alcides Escobar - The Brewers sorely need his defensive wizardry and contact-hitting approach. He also solves the 3B hole by shifting J.J. over.
  • Jonathan Lucroy - The best catching prospect in the system by virtue of the fact that he can actually catch. His hitting numbers at Brevard are very good on the face of it, but even better after accounting for Space Coast Stadium.
  • Angel Salome - He's leading a Huntsville team that's loaded with prospects in all three slash stats, and he has the tools to be a good defensive catcher.
  • Jeremy Jeffress - The only real pitching prospect in a sea of hitters, Jeffress could potentially ease the pain of losing two aces by blossoming into one himself.
  • Carlos George - Hey, Derek Jeter can't play defense either.
