More Sea Dogs Roster Moves

In the most disappointing news (for me personally) of the young season, Cla Meredith was promoted to Pawtucket before I got a chance to see him pitch. He converted all nine of his save opps this season and did not allow a run in 15 innings pitch in Portland (of course, his stats have been disappeared from the Sea Dogs web site), so a promotion was appropriate, but I was hoping to see his stuff before he went away.

(OK, Minorleaguebaseball.com has his stats: 1-0, 9 sv, 12 G, 15 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 12 K, 0.00 ERA. Outstanding!)

Also, Stefan Bailie is to be activated from the disabled list. The slugging first baseman hit 308/364/590-8-28 in just 37 games inPortland last season. Sheldon Fulse, who has been the 4th OF this season, has been placed on the DL.

No word on the web site as to who is replacing Meredith on the roster.

Recently released players Talley Haines and Mike O'Keefe found other jobs. Haines signed with the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx (what the hell is that?), AA affiliate of the Cubs, while Mike O'Keefe actually landed with the Richmond Braves, his first career taste of AAA baseball. Good luck to both of them!
