Zero tolerance

By signing Vinnie Fayard -- to replace suspended Robbie Garvey -- prior to their game Sunday against the Road Warriors, the Wild Things have reached the Frontier League's transactions limit. By my count, Washington has no transactions left. Zero. To add a player, Washington would have to make a trade within the league for an equal number of players or put a player on the DL.

Fayard fits the mold of the players Washington signed during the last offseason. He has no professional experience and played this spring at an NAIA school, Biola (Calif.). He batted a team-high .372 with four home runs and 13 stolen bases this year. As a sophomore, he hit 14 home runs, but his power number dropped significantly. Perhaps that was caused by the new aluminum bats used in the college game.

The Frontier League transactions page listed Fayard as an outfielder, though he played a lot of infield as a senior.
