It amazes me that every team finds it necessary to keep a couple of LOOGYs around but can't be bothered to have any good bench bats.

This guy is a pretty good bench bat, that is better than a lot of the filler players on AL rosters. I am still suprised that JRod hasn’t made it back on a major league roster.

I'd still like to have him in the Cards' organization though. He’s a Yankees prospect, so of course he’s gonna be overrated. I’d still like to have him in the Cards’ organization though.

That makes sense about Seabol going to Japan - I found it hard to believe he would leave baseball after his nice season at AAA last year.

I swear I saw Seabol play with the marlins in spring training. Was he cut after spring training, or kept in extended spring training? Or I might be thinking of Tagg and Gall who are both with the marlins now. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Seabol" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia says</a> he is playing for the "carp". Hiroshima Carp, in Japan, maybe? Yup, John Gall has a ring. It’s funny though, I don’t remember him playing in ‘06, just ‘05.
