The Joys of Agate Type
One of the great things about this time of year is poring over the transaction listings. Although early November is pretty quiet, every once in a while you can find something in the small print to bring a smile to your face...
Like this, for example. Apparantly, Monday was a busy day for the Expos:
Consider it a sneak peak at the 2007 New Orleans roster...
Speaking of AAA, fans of in Charlotte might want to duck and cover:
And if your team is looking for some relief help, there might be some cheap help available:
And from the Blast From The Past department:
Ask anyone of a certain age what they remember about Hill, and you'll probably get some Arachnophobia gag. I'll remember Hill for the home run he hit that landed on the roof of a building across the street from Wrigley. The one that the official "measurement" pegged at around 420 feet. Yeah, right.
I'll also remember him as being one of the fastest guys ever to don the blue pinstripes. Even Shawon Dunston (say what you will about the rest of his game, but Shawon was a fast dude) admitted that Glenallen was way faster than he was. Funny the things you remember ten years after the fact...
Like this, for example. Apparantly, Monday was a busy day for the Expos:
Signed RHP Tim Redding, RHP Joel Hanrahan, INF Josh Wilson and OF Michael Restovich to one-year contracts. Signed RHPs Jermaine Van Buren, T.J.

Consider it a sneak peak at the 2007 New Orleans roster...
Speaking of AAA, fans of in Charlotte might want to duck and cover:
Chicago White Sox: Signed free agent outfielder Luis Terrero to a one-year contract.
And if your team is looking for some relief help, there might be some cheap help available:
Los Angeles Dodgers: Declined a 2007 option for RHP Eric Gagne, making him a free agent.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays: Declined option on RHP Brian Meadows, making him a free agent.
Milwaukee Brewers: Announced RHP Dan Kolb has elected free agency.
And from the Blast From The Past department:
Colorado Rockies: announced the hiring of Glenallen Hill as first-base coach
