Uh Oh! Roger's Son is Arrested

According to reports by the Associated Press and a news article posted on sfgate.com, Roger Clemens' son, Koby Clemens, and two other minor leaguers were arrested "after police were called to the parking lot of a restaurant. Clemens and Ori were charged with disorderly conduct. Goethals was charged with assault and battery."

The three minor leaguers play for the Salem Avalanche, the Single A affiliate of the Houston Astros, their last game of the season being Monday (9/1/2008) night.

The three were jailed, albeit for a brief time.

Huge Upgrade in Philly

Reports indicate that Philadelphia is getting an offensive and defensive upgrade at one of their hot corners. ESPN reported last night that former San Fransisco Giant Third Sacker Pedro Feliz signed a two year deal with a team option for a third.
Feliz is a huge upgrade over the myriad of jerseys that attempted to fill that position for the Phillies last season. Abraham Nunez, Greg Dobbs, and Wes Helms all spent time on the hot corner, but yielded next to nothing compared to other team's third basemen throughout the league.
Feliz is expected to bat lower in the lineup, in attempts to add a power bat and run producer to spark that end of the lineup.

Despite previously published reports, the Orioles are denying any trade rumors surrounding Erik Bedard.

Koby Clemens says that not watching tv is the best way to avoid seeing his Dad on television.

He's in, he's out, he's in, he's out... Yankee standout Joba Chamberlain may start the season coming out of the bullpen.
