Green Chavez Marlon Gotay Conine Castro soon?

Don't expect Castro back real soon I hear. I hafta say Omar did do a good job turning the bench from a shitty one to a pretty one.

Is Valentin still trying to rehab or did he go under the knife?

- Castro just recently starrted doing 'light baseball activities', or something along those lines. Didn't sound like he'd be back anytime soon. - Valentin was just told today (Forgot where I heard this) that his season is essentially over, that the chipped bone won't heal in time to allow him to play again this year.

Alomar went to Bingo for the last weekend of the season, suggesting (to me, at least) that they didn't want him to go far, nor for the current New Orleans catchers (Wooten and Cancel) to miss opportunities as they prepare for the PCL playoffs.

I would like to have Anderson Hernandez around for pinch running but I'm fairly certain he's the only NO player who can play shortstop.

the reason alomar went to Binghampton is that when their season ends he's free to come up regardless of the 10 day rule (can't come back within 10 days except due to injury). Their season ends this weekend, Alomar's back after it.

Is this an educated guess? Or did you read it somewhere? Or do you actually know Omar?

Carlos Gomez could be back fairly soon. He's doing the minor league rehab games (playing tonight for New Orleans in the playoffs).

I always said Johnny Bench had a lotta balls.

That is the picture that caught my attention in the seventies. It was like the fat twins on the motor scooters in the Guinness Book.

...while the rest of the world was looking at Cheryl Tiegs or something.
