The one and only. As Sergio Santos grew bigger and stronger, his range at shortstop diminished, and he had trouble applying his raw power to game situations. But his arm remained as strong as ever. So after batting .226 with 22 homers in more than 1,500 Triple-A plate appearances, the White Sox signed Santos, a D’backs first-round pick in ’02, with the intention of making him a relief pitcher. The 26-year-old pitched at all four levels for Chicago this year, posting an ugly 8.16 ERA in 26 games but striking out a batter per inning.

The last pro record I could find on Pedro Rodriguez was the Red Sox releasing him in August 2008. He signed out of Venezuela in 2004, pitched for the Red Sox in Latin America in ’05 and ’06, then spent all of ’07 on the DL. He didn’t pitch in ’08 either.

What’s the story with the Cardinals signing Pedro Rodriguez? Was he with the team originally? Did he come from the indy leagues?

Craig Hansen was recently diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner Syndrome, so his career is definitely at risk. Most people recover, but it can take years to get full use of the affected muscle.

The plot thickens regarding the Royals, Red Sox and Reynaldo Rodriguez. According to Boston correspondent Alex Speier, the commissioner's office has deemed Rodriguez to be sole property of the Red Sox.

We're still a bit in the dark, but Marlins correspondent Juan Rodriguez offers the following: "They voided the contract under article 17 of the minor league uniform player agreement, which states teams can terminate agreements because of the existence of a non-disclosed physical or mental defect."

Any clue why the Marlins voided Dustin Dickerson’s deal? Did Loria find a new way to save money(by picking guys,signing them,not liking them,and getting there cash back??)
