Thursday, November 03, 2005Mathis, Kendrick, Weaver, Wood to represent countryRosters for US Baseball's 2008 Olympic qualifying team have been announced, with four Angels uber-prospects featured prominently:
Pitchers -- Stephen Andrade, rhp (Toronto); Jonah Bayliss, rhp (Kansas City); Dave Haehnel, lhp (Baltimore); Chris Lambert, rhp (St. Louis); Jim Miller, rhp (Colorado); Bill Murphy, lhp (Arizona); Clint Nageotte, rhp (Seattle); Brian Sanches, rhp (Philadelphia); Matt Smith, lhp (New York Yankees); Nick Ungs, rhp (Florida); Jered Weaver, rhp (Los Angeles Angels); Stephen White, rhp (Yankees).Note that Steve Andrade would have made a fifth, had the Angels not made the inexplicable decision to hand him to the Blue Jays. Comments:Does anyone else smell some profound irony here? Davey Johnson managed the Dodgers in 1999, and the Dodgers couldn't find a way to make room for Mike Scioscia at the big club... so off he went to the Angels. Here we are five years later, and Scioscia's managing the Angels, has a World Series ring and two division titles under his belt, and Johnson is... managing the U.S. Olympic team. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you... |
