A few final notes from Legends Field today:
RHP Brian Bruney is on the club despite getting rocked today. … No word on any decision from Ron Villone. That will probably come tomorrow. … Jeff Karstens and Chien-Ming Wang will stay back in Tampa to work out. Their stays on the DL will be backdated. Karstens can return April 10, Wang as early as April 7. The expectation is that Wang will be ready around April 21 or so.
For you transaction fans:

RHP Colter Bean
RHP Chris Britton

once the wanger comes back, i like this team a lot.
Could someone tell me what it means to be “optioned”??? Thanks.
i think it has to do with players who’ve had major league time. they can only be “optioned” to the minors a number of times before they have to be released/put on waivers…
Isn’t Britton a lefty? First George King says he’s a righty now pete.
Pete, if your going to copy from someone George King is a bad person to use.
