Wow, this is the first update I've given since... December 5th!


PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT IN 2 DAYS (FEBRUARY 18th)

Let's see if I can name a good majority of the transactions that happened between December and now (there are a lot but I'm going to highlight a few that stand out)

Hideki Okajima- Okay, so I remember he played for the Red Sox a little while back. He's forty years old! I don't know if that is old enough to retire. I mean Peyton Manning's 39 and he's probably going to retire. But really? It's only a minor league deal, and with that being said he should've just retired. But he can do whatever he wants...

Trey Mancini- I thought this was a familiar name, but I guess not. He's fairly young- born in 1992 (actually the year when Camden Yards first opened). He went to Notre Dame, the school of the fighting Irish. Let's hope he plays the same way. Oh well this is only apparently "an invitation to spring training"... that really is a thing?

L.J. Hoes- Sent to the Norfolk Tides.

Orioles claimed C.J. Riefenhauser from the Cubs

New Edition: Where Are They Now? DELMON YOUNG
As a free agent, Young was arrested with a battery charge after choking and threatening a valet at the Viceroy Hotel. Apparently he was told that the club at the hotel was closed by a valet and that got him angry. This isn't the first time he's been arrested when he was with the Tigers, after yelling antisemitic insults. Which makes sense as to why he's a free agent. No one wants him. He doesn't play well with others, so it seems.
