Signings, All-Stars and Departures

Butch has signed yet another outfielder in Jason Lane, to make room for him Butch put Ricky Barrett on the disabled list.

Seven of our players have made the all-star roster including Travis Garcia, Eric Crozier, Casey Benjamin, Matt Craig, Jeremy Owens, and both pitchers Dan Reichert and Ryan Speier.

For those of you who watch the live game last night via the Lancaster Broadcast, it was mentioned that last night's starter Jarrett Santos would be leaving following this half in order to take the job as pitching coach for the University of North Carolina - Greensboro, his alma mater. He has known about getting the position for little over month, but was waiting for the all-star break before making his move. He decided that if he was not signed by a Major League organization by the all-star break that he would leave to Greensboro. His last day is expected to be around July 15th, but if that means he will continue playing until then or if he will merely still be in Maryland until then is not entirely clear. Jarrett will be missed by all of us, but we wish him the best of luck with Greensboro.

After being placed on the inactive list, and now since his jersey number has been given away, I would not expected Matt Petrusek to return to the Blue Crabs this season barring several quick injuries or signings of our relief pitchers as we do not have the roster space to bring him back from inactive.
