Lots of action on the transactions page today. A few that caught my eye:
Orleans released six players, including Rutgers’ Steve Nyisztor but signed eight to full contracts. I’m sure those eight are very happy to be settling in, and the Firebirds are happy to hold on to them. Among the eight are league home run leader Ben Waldrip and recently drafted pitchers Ryan Carpenter and Andrew Chafin.
Harwich activated Lex Rutledge (Samford), who had some of the best velocity on the Cape last year and should be one of the top prospects in the league.
Falmouth activated Kent Emanuel, who had an awesome freshman season for North Carolina, capped by a shutout of Texas in the College World Series. Falmouth now has two of the top freshman pitchers on the Cape in Emanuel and John Simms.
And a familiar face is on his way to a new place. Vanderbilt’s Jack Armstrong, who pitched for Wareham in 2009 and 2010, has signed a full contract with Y-D. Armstrong has been a intriguing prospect throughout his career and was picked in the third round by Houston in last month’s draft.

it is similar too the Norwegian Buhund and related to modern Welshi Corgis
as well as Shetland Sheepdogs. This time rame accounts for approximately 2,000 generations
of humans since the great split, during which time modern genetic
features developed independently.
