Around the Majors: Thompson’s death

by Lee Sinins
March 08, 2005

1) On Sunday, longtime Orioles broadcaster Chuck Thompson died at the age of 83.

2) The Cardinals named Chris Carpenter as their Opening Day starter.

After missing the entire 2003 season, Carpenter had a 3.46 ERA/14 RSAA in 28 starts. He has a 4.59 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.62, and 7 RSAA in 180 games.

3) The Pirates sent Cs Neil Walker and Carlos Maldonado and P Paul Maholm to the minors.

4) The Mets sent Cs Jesus Flores and John Pachot and Ps Grant Roberts, Philip Huber, Yusmeiro Petit, Jose Rosado and Tim Hamulack to the minors.

5) The Nationals sent 1B Phil Hiatt, 3B Jared Sandberg, INF Rick Short, OF Brandon Watson, C Drew McMillan and Ps Josh Karp, Seth Greisinger, Chad Durbin, Luis Pineda, Micah Bowie and Bill Bray to the minors.

6) On Sunday, Todd Van Poppel left the Mets camp and GM Omar Minaya assumes he's going to be retiring.

7) The Marlins sent P Rodrigo Rosario to the minors.


If you enjoy the ATM reports and want to support them, check out my other creation--the sabermetric baseball encyclopedia. Orders are now being taken for the next edition, which will include the 2004 stats and is currently shipping. It's powerful, yet extremely easy to use. Features extensive sorting, stat display options, and features that are not available in online and printed sources. The deluxe package has been greatly expanded, making it a much better bargain. For more information, see http://www.baseball-encyclopedia.com

According to Peter Gammons, "There is no greater baseball tool than Lee Sinins' Baseball Sabermetric Encyclopedia. Get thee to Baseball Immortals and order the disc, haste post haste." The product Jayson Stark called "the best invention since the toaster oven!" has gotten even more powerful.
