Blue Jays purchase Bachman's contract
The revolving door to the Wild Things' clubhouse was in full swing Wednesday as the team made a flurry of roster moves.
The most significiant transaction was right-handed pitcher Corey Bachman had his contract purchased by the Toronto Blue Jays. Bachman had a 1-1 record and 2.19 ERA in seven relief appearances for Washington. He gave up nine hits and four walks in 12.1 innings and struck out eight. The league was batting .200 against Bachman, who played last summer for the Cubs' rookie-league team in Arizona and posted a 3-0 record in 13 games, all in relief.
Bachman and Washington starting pitcher J.J. Hollenbeck were teammates at Virginia Military Institute.
The Wild Things also placed shortstop Jeff Beachum (back) on injured reserve and signed a new shortstop. Well, not exactly a new one. Washington re-signed Brett Grandstrand, who was the Wild Things' shortstop in 2006 and spent last season with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' affiliate in the Class A South Atlantic League.

Brett is a fantastic Kid. Both hard working and genuinely talented.
Those who know him here in the Northwest wish him nothing but the best.
Go Stampede!

This could be the best move Jelks has done yet. Sign Grandstrand. He'll bring that spark to the Wild Things, something that has been missing all year. Maybe they can turn the page now and start playing the way they can.
