The latest minor moves…
- The Rays released Triple-A right-hander Dirk Hayhurst, according to the Tampa Tribune (on Twitter). Hayhurst, author of the highly entertaining book The Bullpen Gospels, last appeared in the Major Leagues with the 2009 Blue Jays. He had a 4.12 ERA with 6.6 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 59 innings for the Rays' top affiliate this year.
- The independent Long Island Ducks announced that they signed former Major LeaguerJosh Banks. The 2003 second rounder pitched for the Astros last year and also has MLB experience with the Blue Jays and Padres.
Hope the Garfoose got enough material for another book.
Hayhurst’s already finished the second book – think he tweeted that last week.
Hopefully another team will give Dirk a Chance.
Why do we care?
If you were released, Dirk would care about you.
We care for a variety of reasons.
Better question. If you don’t care, why post?
