If Dean Bell is the one from St. Petersburg College, as Dave suggests, then he is the first-born son of former Blue jay and one-time MVP George (Jorge) Bell.

I think Holland is an Australian amateur. Bell might have played for St Petersburg CC.

Matt Way was promoted to the Atlantic League near the completion of the 2012 season, proceeding to pitch 13 scoreless innings in 2 starts for the Long Island Ducks, one of those starts being a complete-game shutout.

I get a kick out of Fumimasa Ishibashi being released. He appeared in 3 games over the last four seasons for the Dodgers. Also Dave Meliah for the Rangers retired in 2003 and has been coaching summer ball. Just funny to see teams hold onto guys rights.

Any idea where Sam Holland (Padres) and Dean Bell (Blue Jays) played previously?

Lowery signing with the Royals is interesting. He was a Wake Forest QB recruit out of HS who briefly made the majors in 2008. He got hurt shortly there after and spent the 2012 season as a coach for the Royals low-A team. I suppose his arm is feeling good and he is going to give pitching one last try.
