And so ends the rather uneventful six-year run of 2004 3rd rounder Josh Wahpepah. Would it pain folks to know that J.A. Happ and Adam Lind went in that same round, after the Brewers chose Josh? Yeah, I thought so...

 

I guess now we know why McPhearson was able to sign with that new pro winter league in Florida.

 

No surprises elsewhere based on age, performance, and mainly a combination of both. Travis Nevakshonoff came back in August to throw two scoreless innings after nearly two full years away. You have to figure he's still not healthy, considering he only turned 20 in July.

 

Andrew Dunn posted good numbers, but he turned 23 in September, and never got a sniff of Helena at all.

Drespling and Sollmann had never officially filed retirement paperwork, apparently, so this officially sets them free.

You'd think I have a man-crush the way I keep bringing it up, but Gordan Ash mentioned Mike Jones signed a minor league contract in his interview.

[And That]

Jones' signing has already been mentioned in the newly christened Offseason Transaction Thread.

 

Closing this thread in lieu of that one.
