Heels in the League 8/12/09 (MLB)
(MLB) 08-12-09
Having fixed all the ex Diamond Heels I believe that now all are listed in the proper squads, including the last two signees from Chapel Hill. As far as the performances by all of these players, some did ok, some not so much, check them all out in this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games from yesterday. Tomorrow’s edition should be a lot earlier than now, but for now I am just happy I am not falling behind on this daily post. Until the next edition, hope you enjoy this one…
