  • Major League Baseball's I-Team
    Major League Baseball’s I-Team The I-Team is composed of players whose names contain enough unique letters to spell the team(s) for which they played. To select the team, the all-time roster for each franchise was compared to both its current name as well as the one in use when each player was a member of the team. For example, a member of the Dodgers franchise would be compared to both that moniker (regardless of the years when they played) as well as alternate names, such as the Robins, Superbas, Bridegrooms, etc., if they played during seasons when those other identities were used. However, if a franchise relocated and changed its name, the rosters would only be compared to the team name used when each respective player was a member. Using another illustration, those who played for the Senators from 1901 to 1960 were not compared to the Twins name, and vice versa. Finally, the most common name for each player was used (as determined by baseball- reference.com’s database). For example, Whitey Ford was used, not Edward Ford. Franchise Team Name Players Angels Angels Al Spangler Angels Angels Andres Galarraga Angels Angels Claudell Washington Angels Angels Daniel Stange Angels Angels Jason Bulger Angels Angels Jason Grimsley Angels Angels Jose Gonzalez Angels Angels Larry Gonzales Angels Angels Len Gabrielson Angels Angels Paul Swingle Angels Angels Rene Gonzales Angels Angels Ryan Langerhans Angels Angels Wilson Delgado Astros Astros Brian Esposito Astros Astros Gus Triandos Astros Astros Jason Castro Astros Astros Ramon de los Santos

  • Blue Crabs Sign Major League Veteran Southern
    Blue Crabs sign major league veteran Posted by Dick.Myers_Editor On 08/10/2013 Southern Maryland Blue Crabs manager Patrick Osborn has announced the signing of former Major League veteran right-handed pitcher Tim Redding. The signing of Redding adds another experienced arm to the Blue Crabs pitching staff and will bolster their starting rotation down the final few weeks of the regular season. Redding has pitched eight seasons in the Major Leagues for five different clubs from 2001-2009 (Astros, Padres, Yankees, Nationals, and Mets). Redding, 35, was drafted in the 1997 Major League Baseball Amateur draft in the 20th round by the Houston Astros. The Rochester, New York native made his Major League debut on June 24th, 2001 for the Astros in which he threw 5 2/3 innings and struck out seven in a 7-5 victory versus the Cincinnati Reds. The 5’11”, 230-pound righty spent five seasons in the big leagues with the Astros compiling a 21-29 record in 404 innings of work and 290 strikeouts. Redding had his best season with the Astros in 2003 when he went 10-14 with a 3.68 era and 116 strikeouts. From 2004 to 2009 Redding went on to pitch for four other clubs. The best season of his career came in 2008 while pitching for the Washington Nationals. In 33 games, Redding set career-high marks in just about every statistical category; starts (33), innings pitched (182.0), strikeouts (120), and complete games (1). After his last season in the Majors in 2009, Redding spent time in the Rockies, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Phillies minor league systems and went on to pitch for the Samsung Lions in the Korea Baseball Organization in 2010.
