I'm actually planning on putting a lot of these out on FB and Twitter, so if any players are looking for their pics or want some taken they can let me know. They're on my photo kiosk (as I call it) now, but I'm going to put them somewhere else so players can tag themselves and/or send them to family and friends. After Chowning showed interest in having some new shots I felt kind of like a scab for not posting them, sooner. It's not a lot to ask, really; I can't bring myself to charge players making like $600 bucks a month for their own pics. Family and friends? Another story. One must make a living, after all. There are, of course, exceptions for every rule.

Like I've said in the past, I won't post whole photo albums on FB anymore, what with the whole "we own your crap" clause in their User Agreement. 

Transactions: More Houston Assignments

MAR 28th, 2012-Yet more assignments to announce.

Houston RHPs Mike Foltynewicz and Tanner Bushue, C Roberto Pena, and LHP Luis Cruz will be reporting to Class A Lexington. Good to see some of the old guys back, but hoping that they will make it up the ladder, soon. 

Transactions: Houston RHP Carlos Quevedo, Murilo Gouvea to Class A Lexington

MAR 28th, 2012-Busy day, eh?

News out of Houston Camp is that RHPs Carlos Quevedo and Murilo Gouvea are reporting to Class A Lexington, as well. Somewhat surprising that Gouvea would come back (2011 stats), but who am I to question the wisdom of the Houston brass? No one, as it turns out. 

Transactions: Houston OF Jordan Scott Assigned to Class A Lexington

MAR 28th, 2012-Sure I'm not the first to hear this, but Houston OF Jordan Scott is heading to Class A Lexington to start the 2012 season. JT had a great year in Greeneville last year (2011 stats), and more than earned his promotion. Just spoke with him about his bump to A ball, and he tells me he reports on Monday.

As a Legends fan, I'm obviously excited to see this happen. JT is a good kid, though, and that matters more than his ability to swing a bat or catch a ball. Just makes me that much happier to hear about it. 

Transactions: Houston RHP Jason Chowning to Class A Lexington

MAR 28th, 2012-Just received word that one of my favorite players is reporting to Class A Lexington to start the 2012 season.

RHP Jason Chowning will be heading our way soon to start the year, and from what I've heard from Jason his arm is feeling much better. My hopes are that he can move up the chain soon, but then I'd be happy to have him around all year with the Legends. Bottom lines being what they are, however, we're here to make the players' time in our city a little more comfortable, and we hope to do so for Chow and his teammates this year.
