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.
