He Was A Rockie?

Yesterday's Recap
Another poor starting pitching performance and the offense just not there. Different city and different time zone yet still same result. Someday we will win again! (I hope!)
He Was A Rockie?
This week we look at Eric Wedge who currently is the manager of the Cleveland Indians and played very briefly with the Roxs back in 1993. He was a catcher (just like Joe Girardi, another big league manager) and he played all of 9 games (only one complete game as a catcher, the rest was Pinch Hitting). Drafted in the expansion draft and taken from Boston he just wasn't big league material. He had played two years previously in Boston getting into 28 games then after leaving the Roxs went back to Boston for an additional 2 games. So who says you can't make it in baseball...manage a team after only playing in 39 big league games! Wedge batted a buck 82 with 11 bats and 2 hits and 1 RBI.
