Man, it’s a good thing I’ve got the entire off-season to catch up…
This week, former Lynx pitcher Tim Kester was signed by Baltimore to a minor league contract, as was Brian Bowles (by San Francisco). Philadelphia signed 1B Gary Burnham, LHP Allen Davis, OF Ryan Fleming, OF Branden Florence and RHP Tim McClaskey - all to minor league deals. Last week, the Phils also signed Joey Hammond - I’ll have to see if it’s been determined where he’s meant to be assigned. Bobby Scales was picked up by Baltimore for “future considerations” (which means we won’t see him in anything but a Tides uniform this year).

Stay tuned, and/or let me know if you see anything.
