  • Jim Parque's National Team Stats Bill Scott's National
    The UCLA baseball program has sent eight players to play for the USA Baseball National Team a total of 10 times, beginning with the selection of Shane Mack in 1984. Most recently, former UCLA shortstop Brandon Crawford helped the U.S. National Team capture its second consecutive FISU (International University Sports Federation) World Championship in the summer of 2006. Crawford’s selection in 2006 marked the first time a Bruin had been named since Karp, a right-handed pitcher, competed for the national team in 2000. The 2006 U.S. National Team finished its summer campaign with a 28-2-1 mark and successfullyl defended its gold medal won in the 2004 FISU Tournament in Taiwan. UCLA’s student-athletes have not been the only individuals affiliated with the U.S. National Team. While working as an assistant coach at USC in the summer of 2000, current UCLA head coach John Savage served as an assistant to Mike Gillespie for the U.S. National Team of collegiate all-stars.

  • Indians Nab Speedy Outfielder in Second Round by Jordan Bastian
    Indians nab speedy outfielder in second round By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | 1:12 AM ET + 4 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- Without a first-round pick in the MLB Draft this year, the Indians had to cast a wider net in order to find their top selection. On Monday night, as names came off the board in baseball's annual amateur showcase, Cleveland found its man in prep outfielder Quentin Holmes. The Indians were thrilled that one of the Draft's fastest players was still there for the taking at pick No. 64 in the second round. "We couldn't be more excited to be able to take Quentin," said Brad Grant, the Indians' senior director of amateur scouting. "It was tough for us to predict who was going to be down there." The Indians took Holmes out of Monsignor McClancy Memorial High School, which is located in East Elmhurst, Queens, N.Y. That makes the fleet-footed outfield prospect the highest player taken out of a New York City high school since 1996, when Jason Marquis was picked in the first round by the Braves. The Indians took a long, hard look at Holmes, who was scouted heavily by Cleveland area scout Kevin Kanen. With the uncertainty that comes with picks beyond the first round, the Indians were attracted to Holmes' athleticism. They pegged him as a 70-grade runner (80 being the highest level), with plus defense in center field. Offensively, Holmes' high-contact approach made him look like a future top-of-the-order hitter. "The big attraction with Quentin is his speed," Grant said.

  • Aug. 3-9 Numbers in Parentheses Indicate Draft Round
    Aug. 3-9 Numbers in parentheses indicate draft round. Arizona Diamondbacks Released: RHP Cristian Beltre Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jason Urquidez, C Raywilly Gomez, C Zach Jones Reinstated from DL: RHP Kevin Mulvey, C Raywilly Gomez, 2B Matt Jensen, SS Dan Kaczrowski, OF Jeremia Gomez Atlanta Braves Signed: RHP Navery Moore (14), LHP Luis Merejo Released: RHP Matt Lewis Recalled: LHP Mike Minor Baltimore Orioles Signed: RHP Willie Eyre, OF John Ruettiger (8) Released: RHP Josh Rupe Recalled: RHP Jason Berken, RHP Chris Tillman Designated for assignment: RHP Brandon Erbe Optioned to Triple-A: LHP Mark Hendrickson Placed on 7-day DL: RHP Jose Diaz, C Adam Donachie, C Joel Polanco Reinstated from DL: LHP Matt Taylor, C Joel Polanco, 1B Rhyne Hughes Orioles released RHP Josh Rupe from Triple-A Norfolk. Rupe, 28, posted a 5.65 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 14 1/3 major-league innings this season, and fared even worse at Norfolk, turning in a 7.07 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 42 frames. Brandon Erbe's time with the Orioles may be nearing an end. The 23-year-old will be eligible for free agency if he's not added back to the 40-man roster between now and early November. Baltimore born and bred, Erbe signed out of third round of the ’05 draft and put Class A ball behind him by the end of the ’08 season. However, he's pitched just 165 innings in the past three seasons (including 4 2/3 this year), and he's coming off labrum surgery in ’10.

  • Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2
    Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 2 • The first wave of free agents entered the marketplace on Oct. 1 as 43 players elected free agency, the majority of them under Article XX(D) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. It reads in part: “Any player who has at least three years of major league service, or who qualified as a “Super Two” player . and whose contract is assigned outright to a minor league club may elect, in lieu of accepting such assignment, to become a free agent. In the event that such a player with at least three years of major league service does not elect free agency in lieu of accepting such assignment, he may elect free agency between the end of the then current major league season and the next following Oct. 15, unless such player is returned to a major league roster prior to making such election.” • The recalls in this installment are paperwork moves owing to the fact that, with the minor league season and playoffs concluded, players can no longer be sent on optional assignments. According to MLR 11(b)4 “A Major League Club may recall a player not to report after the conclusion of the championship season of the Minor League Club to which the player is on optional assignment but no later than October 1” Arizona Diamondbacks Signed: RHP Seth Lintz (Laredo (American Association)), RHP Dustin Loggins (Kansas City (American Association)), RHP Jacob Roberts (Bridgeport (Atlantic)), LHP Sean Mahley (Schaumburg (Frontier)), OF Dan Bowman (Lake Erie (Frontier)), OF Steve McQuail (Schaumburg (Frontier)) Elected free agency:
