Hemstitching: Torra Signs, MiLB.com Picks All-Stars
- MLB Trade Rumors is reporting that RHP Matt Torra has signed with the Rays. With no further information, we’ll just go ahead and speculate that it is a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. We like Torra. He showed up in Durham last year in July and put in quite a few innings (61⅓), 11 games started, 5-1, ERA of 3.67. Pretty good. At 27 you have to think that he’s a long shot with the Rays, but as we noted at the end of the season, we’d be happy to see him back in a Bulls uniform.
- MiLB.com is reporting a “Rays Organization All-Star” list. Quite a few 2011 Bulls on the list including Steven Vogt, Russ Canzler, and Brandon Guyer whom we might see next year, along with a couple we’re very unlikely to see, Dan Johnson and Desmond Jennings, and several that we might see. Worth looking at for the comments of Rays minor league exec Mitch Lukevics.

Bad news for us... it looks like Neil Solondz is moving up to the big leagues and will be doing the pre- and post- game radio shows for the Rays. Good for him, though. He deserves it.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is good/bad news. Have a cite? Would like to do a post about Neil. Think he's one of the best play-by-play guys in the business.
ReplyDeleteIt is up on the Bulls' website now. He will be hard to replace.
