Update on Mason's former pitcher
Here's a story from mlb.com about Chris Jakubauskas, the pitcher in the Seattle Mariners' organization who spent three seasons in the Frontier League including one with Ohio Valley, where his manager was Mark Mason.
Jakubauskas, who has only 12 games of experience above Double-A, is still in the Mariners' major league camp. On Monday, Jakubauskas pitched five innings in a spring training game against the San Francisco Giants and allowed only three hits and one run. Jakubauskas remains a longshot to make the opening day roster, but it's still amazing that a guy with a 9-15 record in the Frontier League has made it this far into spring training.

It wasn't good Monday for two other former Frontier Leaguers, including ex-West Allegheny High School pitcher Scott Patterson. The Padres sent Patterson and lefty pitcher Joe Thatcher to Class AAA Portland. Thatcher, who played for River City, holds the distinction of being the first guy to play a game at Consol Energy Park and go on to play in the major leagues.
