Racin' to Indy?
In the Frontier League, before the regular season ends and the postseason begins is something called the silly season. Rumors about which managers and coaches will be returning, which franchise will be moving, which players will be released or brought back, and which cities are on league's radar begin to pop up on a daily basis. We're smack in the middle of the silly season.
Today's report comes from Westfield, Ind., a suburb north of Indianapolis. Apparently, a company is planning a large mixed-use development (think Southpointe) that will include a 5,000-seat ballpark. Paul Estridge, of a Carmel, Ind.-based development company that is running the project, has said he's trying to attract an independent team to the ballpark and hopes to have a deal in place for a Frontier League expansion team in two months.
Here's guessing that if this happens, the expansion team won't be on the field until 2012 at the earliest.

Chris why would Lake Erie release a player on the last day of the season?
One reason might be because the player has a deal lined up to play in the Atlantic League, which plays through September. That's only a guess, though. The player released probably was a guy Lake Erie wouldn't be bringing back next year because of the roster rules so they just let him go.
He was in the lineup for York of the Atlantic League on the final day of the Frontier League season which was a day game for the Revolution and thus couldn't finish with the Crushers...
