Former Ironpig Mike Cervenak has signed with the Florida Marlins organization.
LHP Yohan Flande has signed with the Braves.
Gustavo Chacin has re-signed with the Astros
Oakland has released Travis Blackley
Pirates have signed 3B Josh Fields (Remember the nice story I told about him a few months back?)
OinK!




No Cervenak at the Coke this summer…guess our Cervenak for Ransom campaign didn’t work so well.
Noooo.
Did you also notice that Scott Nestor was signed by the Dodgers. I know he’s easy for Ironpigs fans to forget but when he was in the Phillies organization he pitched in 2 games for the Ironpigs during the 2009 season. His stats in those 2 games:
W/L: 0-0
Innings Pitched: 1
Hits Allowed: 1
Walks Allowed: 9
Strikeouts: 2
Runs/Earned Runs: 5/5
ERA: 45.00
And I don’t know if I mentioned this one before but the Dodgers also acquired LHP Mike Antonini from the Mets in a trade. Antonini won 2 games for Buffalo in 2010 with both wins coming against the Ironpigs at Coca-Cola Park (August 9 & September 3).
I certainly remember Nestor…too bad he is not a basketball player and ERA is not quite the same as points-per-game.
So much for the Cervenak for Ransom campaign.
