Zeile for LA
Jon e-mailed me with a link to this story:
Major League Baseball, owners of the Montreal Expos, signed veteran third baseman Todd Zeile to a contract for the remainder of the season.
It was erroneously thought that Zeile, who went 1 for 3 with a walk in his debut with his new organization Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, would spend the rest of 2003 with the Expos. However, baseball announced that the UCLA graduate had instead been signed to play for visiting teams to Dodger Stadium.
Zeile will suit up for Montreal in today's afternoon game against the Dodgers. Then, while the Expos head down to San Diego, Zeile will stay in his hometown and put on the uniform of the New York Mets for a three-game weekend series at Chavez Ravine.
I was actually surprised the Yankees let Zeile go. I assumed at this point you had to be a bad hitter to play third for the Bronx Bombers. I really thought Weaver would be the first to go.
On a more serious note, has anyone noticed that Gagne needs the game to be on the line? In save situations, his ERA is 0.44 and has allowed a .096 BA. In non-save situations, his ERA is 3.47 and has allowed a .190 BA. (40 2/3 innings in save situations, 23 1/3 innings non-save situations.)
