Whistle Stops

The New Big10 - Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, Northwestern and Minnesota in one (West) division and Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Purdue, Indiana and Illinois in the (East) other.  The Bucks and Wolves will still meet annually as the conference will play inter-divisional games during the last week of the season.  Thus, OSU and Michigan would meet in back to back games should they both win their divisions and match up in the new Big10 Championship Game @ Lucas Oil.  Also, check out Nike's 2010 Pro Combat jerseys for the Buckeyes.

Other notable call-ups as rosters expand: Freddie Freeman (1B, Atl), Desmond Jennings (OF, TB), Yonder Alonso (1B, Cin), Rocco Baldelli (OF, TB), Tyler Flowers (C, ChiW), Mat Gamel (3B, Mil) and Cory Luebke (LHP, SD).

Cliff Lee sent back to Texas to have his back examined.  In his last 5 starts Cliff is 0-3 w/ an 8.28.

Mark Prior has thrown 11 innings for the Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League, 22K, 5H, 5BB, 0ER, .135 OBA.  I hope someone gives him a bonafide opportunity next spring.  The story calls him Strasburg 1.0.  ;-j
