Baseball Babe # 81 Honors Austin Hyatt Philadelphia Phillies Defeat Florida State Seminoles

The baseball season has started ...well the exhibitions have started with the Philadelphia Phillies and the Florida State Seminoles. The game ended in a victory 6-1 in favor of the Phillies!

The starting pitcher for the Phillies was Austin Hyatt a young pitcher in the system who played for the Double A Reading Phillies were he posted a  3.85 ERA in 28 starts is looking to move up to Triple A this season?

Hyatt pitched well in the exhibition going two scoreless innings and struck out three Seminoles batters. His next test will be the New York Yankees big club on Monday! A far cry from starting at the University of Alabama!

Sorry, Seminoles fans, here is a complimentary prize for Jayce Boyd and his single run scored trying!

Baseball Babe #78 Honors Manny Ramirez Minor League Signing with Oakland A's

The Oakland Athletics dipped into the well and with little investment and minimal risk are taking their chances with Manny Ramirez.

Manny coming off of his reduced to 50 games suspension this season for an illegal drug failed test signed a minor league contract with A's for a prorated $500,000. The amount will be more like $300,000 under the league minimum after the suspension. Very cheap if Manny makes it back to the big show.

Could we find Manny Ramirez wearing a Triple AAA  Sacramento River Rats logo and fizzle away or in an Oakland A's uniform?

Will "Manny being Manny" effect the young talent such as Yoennis Cespedes positively or negatively? If the bat is there he can surely show the kids how to hit!
