How many pitchers do you need?

The Wild Things made two roster moves prior to Sunday's game against the Traverse City Beach Bums. They put right-handed starting pitcher Zach Groh on the disabled list and signed catcher Scott Clement, who went 0-for-3 with a walk in his Washington debut while being the designated hitter.

Putting Groh on the DL, one day after Matt Vieira retired, left the Wild Things with only nine pitchers for the game. Clement, however, gives the Wild Things three catchers. With Washington down to the league minimum 22 active players, the Wild Things will likely be adding one or two pitchers prior to Tuesday night's series opener at Southern Illinois.

Clement had been playing for the St. George Roadrunners of the independent Golden League (it's the one indy based on the West Coast) when last week the Roadrunners closed shop and became a travel team. Ownership said the Roadrunners' money simply ran out, in part because beer sales were not permitted at home games. Manager Darrell Evans and his entire coaching staff were fired.
