Former Cardinals Watch

I still hope to see Adron do well.

I think we've seen the limit of Adron Chambers' abilities.

Of course, 99 PA is 99 more than any of us will get.

The Blue Jays probably acquired him so he can mentor Rasmus.

Blue Jays acquired OF Adron Chambers from the Astros for LHP Alejandro Solarte and INF Will Dupont.
Chambers was batting .281/.356/.416 with two home runs and 15 RBI through 102 plate appearances this season for the Astros' Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City. Known primarily for his speed, the 27-year-old had been caught on three of four stolen base attempts. He's doubtful to make any sort of positive impact in Toronto.

I like the euphemism "doubtful to make any sort of positive impact in Toronto." So there's a chance at a cataclysmic impact leading to global extinctions.

The Marlins just signed Brad Penny to a minor league deal.

Heptaminol sounds like something Buddy Love drank in The Nutty Professor.

White Sox released RHP Mitchell Boggs.
Boggs gets the boot after posting an ugly 9.50 ERA over 25 relief appearances in Triple-A this year. The move clears a spot for Henry Rodriguez on the Charlotte roster.

Mitchell just fell off a cliff, didn't he?

[ZigZagCardsFan]

It wasn't too long ago that Boggs was pitching for USA in the WBC.

Sure did. Weird.
