On Thursday, Softbank officials announced that Kameron had secured the open spot in the starting rotation. If the rotation used for the pre-season games is similar to the regular season rotation, we can expect to see Kameron as the second or third starter. For the most part, Kameron has pitched after fellow American D.J. Houlton this pre-season.On the same day, Kameron started and went five innings in a 1-1 tie against the Yokohama Baystars. In his five innings of work, Kameron allowed just two hits, struck out three, walked three and allowed just one run. This was his second outing in the 'official' pre-season and just his first start. His two appearances together total for eight innings with an ERA of 1.13.I believe we can expect to see Kameron's next outing on either Wednesday the 18th against the Chiba Lotte Marines or Friday the 20th against the Dragons. For those of you that are curious about other former Rangers in Japan, Kevin Mench and the Hanshin Tigers will be at the Yahoo! Dome a week from Tuesday on the 24th of March for a three game series against the Hawks. As for Jason Botts and the Nippon Ham Fighters, they too will travel to the Yahoo! Dome for a three game series beginning on April 10th.Yeah for Spring Break!-Holly"Never let the fear of striking out get in your way."- Babe Ruth
Well I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I don't have any new news on Kam Loe but, the good news is that I have some sort of baseball news (there are too many news' in that sentence haha). I'm sure many of you know of Jason Botts who, last year, left the Rangers' Organization mid-season and signed a contract with the Nippon Ham Fighters of the NPB. Yesterday, the Fighters re-signed Botts to a one year deal worth 47 Million Yen. That is roughly just over $506,000 or - 615,488 Swiss Francs
- 14,184,631 Russian Rubles
- 751,511,869 Korean Wons
- 116,387,637 Iceland Kronas
Off topic but, one thing I can't stand is Football (eh...not just football) players with hair hanging out the back of their helmet. One, it makes them look like girls and two, it gets very distracting when the hair is flailing all over the place when the player is running. With that said, I laughed quite hard when I saw this article and video. Next week I only have three days of school, then dead days! I'm not sure but, I may go to the Toys for Tots toy drive at the Ballpark Thursday. I would like to go however, I would also really like to go home too. It's such a hard decision!Before I go, I want to wish my Alma Mater's football team the very best of luck in their Regional Final Tomorrow! What makes this playoff experience so amazing for my old school, Hendrickson High School, is that this school year is only its sixth year open. My graduating class was only the third class and just the second to go the full four years at the School. The varsity football program is even younger than the school; the first year they only had a JV and freshman team, making it only five-years-old. As a six-year-old school, the Hendrickson football team is holding their own against older and more experienced programs. Go Hawks! We Believe!!-Holly"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too. "-Greg, Age 8
