Two former Things back in FL
Two former Wild Things have signed contracts to play in the Frontier League -- but not with Washington -- in 2010.
Relief pitcher Travis Risser, who had an excellent season (4-2, six saves, 1.09 ERA) with the Wild Things in 2007 before being picked up by Tampa Bay, has signed a deal with Lake Erie, where he'll be reunited with former Washington manager John Massarelli. Risser was injured during spring training this year and released by the Devil Rays.
Outfielder Tim Alberts, who played for Washington in 2008, signed with Windy City after being acquired by the ThunderBolts in a trade with Joliet of the Northern League. There was much speculation from the Washington coaches and front office late last season that the Wild Things were going to re-acquire Alberts in a trade with Joliet but that never materialized.

So which of players that they resigned would you think that would be on the trading block? Do you think that they would get rid of some of the older players like sidick and dempsey?
What is Ross's status?
Any time you get a new person heading the organization, they usually bring along their own people and get rid of the trash.
Also, internet exployer is working with the word verification.
Is this just luck or has it been fixed?
Small operations like independent baseball don't have "their own people." You take what you can get.
I had a choice of Wild Things season tickets or a lump of coal for Christmas.
I took the coal.
