I had high hopes for this kid, but it looks like he may never put it all together. I guess it must be hard to be a major league baseball player

Eric Byrnes probably available:

Crew signs Norris Hopper to a minor league deal:

I remember liking him for some reason with the Reds. I recall a game when Cincy stole like ten bases against Sheets on an important August evening a couple of years ago. I think Hopper may have had a couple of them.

Some fun stuff, just for fun:

Giants: Signed Guillermo Mota to a minor league deal.

Nationals: Signed Kevin Mench to a minor league deal (FanShot).

The toughest part of this time of year for Bill Hall is finding a new excuse for previous struggles. Last year it was eyesight, and he had Lasik surgery. The year before that it was the move to the outfield, and he was moving back to the infield. This year, he told John Tomase of The Boston Herald that a 2007 high ankle sprain messed up his mechanics. Fortunately, this year it's not the Brewers' problem.
