Therapeutic potential of resolvins in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disorders
ABSTRACT Acute inflammation, the primary response to harmful infection and injury, can be successfully completed through effective resolution and tissue repair. Resolution of inflammation requires the elimination of key inflammatory cells and the downregulation of pro-inflammatory mediators in the inflamed sites. This coordinated process is actively regulated by biochemical mediators which possess anti-inflammatory and/or pro-resolving effects. Resolvins, endogenous lipid mediators generated from omega-3 fatty acids, have emerged as a novel class of potent molecules that counteract excessive inflammatory responses and stimulate pro-resolving mechanisms; regulating the trafficking of leukocytes and stimulating non-phlogistic phagocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages.The disruption of these anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mechanisms can not only cause the initiation of unnecessary inflammation, but also lead to the persistence of inflammation which contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of chronic inflammatory diseases. Since inflammation can have the beneficial effect on host defense, the timely resolution of inflammation is better to avoid chronic inflammatory situation, rather than merely blocking inflammation at the beginning. In this regards, understanding of the mechanism underlying resolution of inflammation provides a novel therapeutic approach to prevent and treat chronic inflammatory disorders. This review will address therapeutic potential of resolvins for the successful management of inflammatory ailments.

Article: Vascular effects of the Mediterranean diet—Part II: Role of omega-3 fatty acids and olive oil polyphenols[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The lower occurrence of cardiovascular disease and cancer in populations around the Mediterranean basin as detected in the 1950s was correctly attributed to the peculiar dietary habits of those populations. Essentially, until the mid-20th century, typical Mediterranean diets were rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole-wheat bread, nuts, fish, and, as a common culinary trait, the routine use of extra-virgin olive oil. Nowadays, the regular adoption of such dietary patterns is still thought to result in healthful benefits. Such patterns ensure the assumption of molecules with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, among which ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), ω-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), and phenolic compounds. The aim of this review is to provide an update of the vasculo-protective pathways mediated by ω-3 PUFAs and polyphenols in the context of the modern Mediterranean dietary habits, including the possible cross-talk and synergy between these typical components. This review complements a parallel one focusing on the role of dietary nitrates and alimentary fats.Vascular Pharmacology 10/2014; 63(3). DOI:10.1016/j.vph.2014.07.001 · 4.62 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Lipoxygenases (LOXs) form a heterogeneous class of lipid peroxidizing enzymes, which have been implicated in cell proliferation and differentiation but also in the pathogenesis of various diseases with major public health relevance. As other fatty acid dioxygenases LOX oxidize polyunsaturated fatty acids to their corresponding hydroperoxy derivatives, which are further transformed to bioactive lipid mediators (eicosanoids and related substances). On the other hand, lipoxygenases are key players in regulation of the cellular redox homeostasis, which is an important element in gene expression regulation. Although the first mammalian lipoxygenases were discovered 40 years ago and although the enzymes have been well characterized with respect to their structural and functional properties the biological roles of the different lipoxygenase isoforms are not completely understood. This review is aimed at summarizing the current knowledge on the physiological roles of different mammalian LOX-isoforms and their patho-physiological function in inflammatory, metabolic, hyperproliferative, neurodegenerative and infectious disorders. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Oxygenated metabolism of PUFA: analysis and biological relevance."Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids 10/2014; 1851(4).

Top 10 US Biomedical Research Institutions Involved in Drug Development
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 23 Feb 2014
As Big Pharma companies are increasingly slashing their R&D spending, academic research institutions must play a key role in the drug development process, particularly on the preclinical research and drug discovery side.
Whereas many of the research institutions are still doing ample fundamental science research, interest seems to be growing among the universities in repurposing existing drugs or those that never made it into the marketplace because of safety problems, according to recent market research.
FierceBiotech (Washington DC, USA), an online drug development industry publication that monitors biopharmaceutical deals, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and clinical trials, recently reviewed some of the best research institutions in the United States and ranked by them by their level of funding from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH; Bethesda, MD, USA), the largest funder of biomedical research worldwide.
In 2013, funding for biomedical research at these institutions took a hit from sequestration on top of years of budget slashes to the NIH. Out of 10, 7 of those on the list (shown below) lost funding in US fiscal 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Stanford University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of California, San Francisco, were the only 3 among the top 10 to receive a slight cash influx in NIH funding from 2012 to 2013. A 2014 spending bill passed in January 2014 will restore USD 1 billion to NIH compared to fiscal year 2013 postsequester, but that is still below presequester funding levels.
The top ten instituitions: 1. Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD); 2. University of California, San Francisco; 3. University of Washington (Seattle, WA, USA); 4. University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia); 5. University of Michigan (Ann Arbor); 6. University of Pittsburgh (PA); 7. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; 8. University of California, San Diego; 9. Stanford University (Stanford, CA), and 10. Duke University (Durham, NC).

August 9, 2006 in Nation/World
Lieberman loses primary election
HARTFORD, Conn. – In a stark repudiation, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., narrowly lost the Democratic Senate primary here Tuesday night, falling to anti-war candidate Ned Lamont in a campaign that became a referendum on the incumbent's support for the Iraq war.
Lieberman publicly conceded the primary shortly after 11 p.m., after a congratulatory call to Lamont. But he appeared almost exuberant in defeat, telling supporters at a hotel in Hartford that he planned to run as an independent in November and predicting that he would be returned to the Senate for a fourth term.
Lieberman, accused by many his own party of being an accommodationist to President Bush, also made clear that he would try to make the general election a campaign about the tone and style of politics that he said has stalemated Washington and that he charged was at the heart of Lamont's insurgency.
"I am of course disappointed by the results but I am not discouraged," Lieberman said. "I'm disappointed not just because I lose but because the old politics of partisan polarization won today. For the sake of our state, our country and my party I cannot and will not let that result stand."
Lieberman faces potentially substantial hurdles in his independent candidacy, despite a poll taken early in the summer showing him winning a three-way race easily. He is likely to face a party united in opposition to his candidacy, at least on the basis of their public statements of support for Lamont. Lieberman hopes to attract moderate independents and many Republicans while holding on to at least part of his Democratic support
Lamont, who was given little chance of winning when he launched his campaign in the spring, appeared moments later before a cheering, chanting crowd of supporters at a victory party in Meriden. "They call Connecticut the land of steady habits," he said to supporters. "Tonight we voted for a big change."
Saying the time has come to "fix George Bush's failed foreign policy" and said he would push for a withdrawal of U.S. forces in Iraq. "I say it's high time to bring them home to a hero's welcome," he said, as his supporters began to chant, "Bring them home, bring them home."
In his victory speech, Lamont praised Lieberman for his service to the state but added, "I'm hoping that over the course of the next few days that we'll come to the conclusion that the party's going to stick together and we'll go forward united."
The three-term incumbent lost his bid for renomination exactly six years after he was chosen as Al Gore's vice presidential running mate, marking a fall from grace among his fellow Democrats that came with brutal swiftness and that signaled the growing strength of the antiwar movement inside the Democratic Party.
With almost all precincts reporting, Lamont had 52 percent of the vote to Lieberman's 48 percent. The Connecticut secretary of state's office reported strong turnout in a campaign that built in intensity over the summer.
The Senate primary was closely watched around the country as a barometer of anti-war sentiment that could shape the November midterm elections, particularly in Democratic-leaning states.
Beyond that, the Lieberman-Lamont contest carried implications for a Democratic Party that long has been split over national security and whose congressional leaders and prospective 2008 presidential candidates have struggled to find consensus on the war.
Republicans officials have argued that a Lamont victory would represent a left turn for the Democrats on security issues, a charge that Democratic leaders have rejected, arguing that the contest here was as much about Democratic frustration with the president as with the war.
At a minimum, the Connecticut primary is likely to assure that Democrats of all stripes – those who initially supported the war and those who have opposed it – take a more aggressive posture in combating the president and his policies at home and abroad.
Lieberman had trailed badly in some pre-election polls and mounted a final-week push that included a Sunday night speech designed to address criticism of his position on the war and his relationship with Bush. That helped make the contest much tighter than it once appeared, but still left Lieberman short of his goal.
Lieberman, 64, was first elected in 1988, defeating then-Republican senator Lowell Weicker. Earlier he served as Connecticut Attorney General. In this three terms in the Senate, he became one of the party's most prominent hawks on military matters and an advocate of bipartisanship who sometimes relished his reputation for crossing party lines on matters of principle.
Those characteristics put him on the defensive in the primary campaign, despite the fact that he enjoyed the enjoyed the support of former president Bill Clinton and an array of Democratic officials nationally and in the state, as well as the support of major newspapers in Connecticut and key Democratic constituency groups.
Lamont, 52, is a wealthy Greenwich businessman whose great-grandfather, Thomas Lamont, was a chairman of J. P. Morgan & Co. He made a fortune in the telecommunications industry but is a relative newcomer to politics, having served previously as a Greenwich selectman. He lost a bid for the state Senate in 1990.
Lamont built his campaign initially with the enthusiastic support of the so-called Net roots – bloggers and other Internet-based activists – and then expanded out with a grass-roots campaign that attracted rank-and-file Democrats who opposed the war and who complained that Lieberman had neglected the interests of his home state.
Many Democratic officials had said that, despite their support for Lieberman in the primary, they would back Lamont in the general election if he defeated the incumbent. Many more are likely to come aboard the Lamont campaign today.
That sets setting up what is likely to be a bitter rerun of the primary and continued divisions within the party here that some Democrats fear could affect their chances of capturing three Republican-held House seats.
Democrats have been talking privately about efforts to persuade Lieberman not to run as an independent but the margin of Lamont's victory may make that far more problematic. Lieberman advisers had said for days they doubted that the incumbent could be turned back from running as an independent and he seemed almost liberated on Tuesday night by the outcome of the primary to run in the fall without having to bow to the anger inside his own party that brought about Lamont's extraordinary victory.
It is rare that Senate incumbents lose their primaries and rarer still that they are felled by the kind of challenge that Lamont's candidacy represented. Lieberman's defeat was the result of many factors, including perceptions that he cared more about his national agenda and ambitions than he did about Connecticut. But it was the war and Democratic frustration with Bush that brought about his downfall.
Controversy marred the final hours of the campaign. On Monday, Lieberman's Web site crashed. Lieberman advisers blamed that on pro-Lamont hackers, and they pointed their fingers at the many bloggers supporting Lamont's campaign.
Lamont campaign officials vehemently denied any involvement, and the candidate, without suggesting he knew who was involved, said he and his campaign were not responsible for the actions of people outside the campaign. Lamont urged anyone responsible to stop.
At this point it is not clear how the fall campaign will unfold but the contest is expected to be contentious. The Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger, is lightly regarded and there has been some speculation that Republicans would seek to have him step aside in favor of a stronger candidate.
Lieberman and Lamont met in their only debate of the campaign on July 6. Lieberman hammered Lamont as a single-issue candidate who had taken multiple positions on the war and urged his rival – and Connecticut voters – not to take out their anger at Bush on him.
"I know George Bush," Lieberman said. "I've worked against George Bush. I've even run against George Bush, but I'm not George Bush. So why don't you stop running against him and have the courage and honesty to run against me and the facts of my record?"
Lamont fired back, "Senator Lieberman, if you won't challenge President Bush and his failed agenda, I will."
That debate now will continue into November.

The kitty who loved solid waste: An employee at Idaho's Kootenai County Solid Waste transfer station tried to adopt Shy Guy, a tabby who had hung out at the station for about a year, and took him to his house in Coeur D'Alene.

The hen that laid the golden egg…
Good morning, Netizens…
The AP picture of the day which comes to us from Canada, reminds me of raising chickens quite a bit, although I admit I never saw any chicken pop an egg quite THAT big before.
An egg weighing in at 143 grams is seen amongst regular sized eggs at the home of Mike McCannell in Vars, Ontario, Canada on Monday. McCannell found the egg while collecting on Friday afternoon. He says it was laid by a chicken that is around 4-years-old.
Like most stories and pictures, there are some things that went unsaid about the chicken who laid the giant egg:
You can spot the chicken clear across the barnyard. She is the hen who is walking bow-legged, is perhaps a bit dizzy and is still looking for a trophy for having created a single egg suitable for making a giant omelette.
Guess what's for dinner???
Good morning, Netizens…
If I had not read about this on the McClatchy News Service, I probably would not have believed it, and prior to actually tasting it, I tended to be somewhat skeptical. However, according to the article located here http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/59566.html raccoon meat is becoming a source of food that is highly desirable. Plus if you think I am really whacked out, you might go here http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,raccoon,FF.html and read some of the recipes for preparing our ring-tailed furry friends for dinner.
If you do even a marginal search for raccoon meat recipes, it seems there are lots of variations on ways to prepare a healthy meal from raccoon meat. Yes, I did say healthy meals. It originally appears in the 1931 edition of The Joy of Cooking which is, incredibly enough, available from various locations near the back door of the Internet.
It seems since life was much simpler back then, butchering and preparing raccoon meat was quite popular. The McClatchy piece even gives you a brief overview of how to prepare the meat properly, which based upon my experience, is quite a bit more involved than preparing beef or pork. However, it is simply delicious.
For decades I had heard similarly negative comments about preparing and eating armadillo which, after tasting it the first time, I became quite the aficionado of ways to prepare and serve the most-pesky varmint in Texas and other parts of the South. It is not nearly so cute and cuddly as a raccoon, but when properly prepared is once again simply delightful. Plus you are helping pest control in the State of Texas. Look at it that way.
According to several sources, the economy may be the reason for the rising interest in raccoon meat. When times are hard, people historically have sought out ways to eat things which they can hunt or trap, rather than purchase from a store. Are we coming to this again?
Raccoon: the other dark meat. If times get hard enough, we might even hear more about this.

Good words from bad…
Good morning, Netizens…
The news wires are having a feeding frenzy over the snow in Spokane, ranging from the stories of schools being cancelled (again!), traffic snarled and mail and garbage collection not running as expected, if at all. Roofs are collapsing, streets are clogged with snow berms, ice and slush and locals are starting to refer to this as Sno-maggon. Granted, despite an overnight warming trend that is forecast to last another 24 hours, the streets are still in a shambles, schools are still closed and people are struggling simply to survive this winter.
The only positive spin the news wires seemed to be able to put on our plight is that at the Chocolate Apothecary at The Flour Mill (free plug courtesy of the AP news wire) is that the owner and employees are surrounded with chocolate, and hence everything is good there.
What is unfortunate is that the news wire spent a lot of time discussing the man who took a shot at a private plow operator, never mentioning the frustration and sense of abandonment by the government that so many of our citizens feel.
On the lighter side, I hear the children laughing as they take turns sliding down the hills, I notice the old-timers still holding forth at Franky Doodles, a nearby restaurant and gathering-place, and I have heard the sounds of laughter floating across the snow berms that are taller than Michael Jordan in some places. In the words of one of these frequent gatherers, the only thing that has truly changed is that we have substituted one of the worst snow emergencies in Spokane history for a flood warning, as the huge snow pack begins melting down.
We have all been stuck at one time or another, have lived with the fear for our roofs caving in, have shoveled and shoveled until we truly hate snow as never before, and yet, here and there, occasionally if you listen to the voices, you will hear levity, laughter and a sense that the worst is over. Maybe.
Say, do any of you have a fishing pole? As the melt down begins, there is a major pond that has formed up in front of my house. Trying desperately to maintain a sense of levity about all this, I am considering seeding the pond with trout and charging admission for people to come fish the Pond d'Laird.
Got any good tales to tell? Whisper them in my ear. Nobody else will hear.

Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.
Martin Luther King Jr.(1929 - 1968)

Testimony from industry executives gave no sense of a consensus that they were.
He did, and thus was the bipartisan Cold War consensus born.
They longed to challenge the consensus, to question the basic assumptions by which their fellow citizens lived.
1854 as a term in physiology; 1861 of persons; from Latin consensus "agreement, accord," past participle of consentire (see consent). There is an isolated instance of the word from 1633.

The dedication ceremony for the Jack Cristil Highway gave Mississippi State University President Mark Keenum a platform for a surprise announcement.
Sid Salter, journalist-in-residence at MSU, will release a biography of Jack Cristil this fall to fund a journalism scholarship for MSU's Department of Communication.
The biography'Äôs title is 'ÄúJack Cristil: Voice of the MSU Bulldogs,'ÄĚ and Keenum said MSU would start taking orders for the book in July at www.jackcristilbook.com. Keenum said all the proceeds from the book will go toward establishing the Jacob S. 'ÄúJack'ÄĚ Cristil Scholarship for students of print, broadcast and new media journalism at MSU.
'ÄúThat scholarship will perpetuate Jack'Äôs extraordinary life and his work, and pave the way for aspiring print, broadcast and new media journalists for years to come,'ÄĚ Keenum said. 'ÄúSid and Jack have been working on this project since back in March, and we had to twist Jack'Äôs arm, literally, to allow us to do this biography. I'Äôm so proud that he agreed to let us do this.'ÄĚ
Salter said Keenum and MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin initially approached Cristil about the book project when the Mississippi Legislature brought him to Jackson for 'ÄúJack Cristil Day.'ÄĚ Salter said Cristil hesitated initially out of fear someone important might be left out of the book, but ultimately, the plan to use the book to raise money for a scholarship won him over.
Since then, Salter said, Cristil has been active in the book's creation, spending six or seven hours in each interview with Salter and scouring his home in Tupelo for new resources Salter can use, including photographs.
'ÄúThe book will contain about 40 to 42 photographs many of which haven'Äôt been seen before,'ÄĚ Salter said. 'ÄúHe was very gracious to let me use those photos. It has been an absolute joy to get to spend this time with him. I think that he has enjoyed the process in that it'Äôs given him the opportunity to reflect on some things he hasn'Äôt in a number of years. For me, it'Äôs very much been a labor of love.'ÄĚ
Salter said the first 5,000 copies of the book ordered will come with a free¬†CD of Cristil'Äôs greatest broadcast calls, plus a clip Cristil contributed to the audio book for John Grisham'Äôs 'ÄúBleachers.'ÄĚ Grisham will also write the foreword for the book, Salter said.
The university offered Salter many resources to complete the project, he said, including archival materials from Mitchell Memorial Library, University Relations, University Television and the Athletic Department. In addition, Dawg's Bite Magazine made some of their archival material available as well. Salter said he was grateful for these resources, without which the book could not have happened as fast as it has.
'ÄúYou can imagine there has been a tremendous amount written about Jack over the years, and the Internet has made it possible to pull a lot of old articles,'ÄĚ Salter said. 'ÄúIt'Äôs been a sort of all-hands-on-deck production on campus. This is very much a group effort, and I just feel real privileged to be able to spend time with Jack, do this research and tell his story.'ÄĚ
Cristil said he is pleased with and grateful for the job Salter has done.
'ÄúHe has researched and developed more information concerning my family than I myself knew or knew of,'ÄĚ Cristil said. 'ÄúHe is a remarkable individual, and I think this is going to be a publication that you'Äôre going to enjoy reading.'ÄĚ

See It to Believe It!
The capital of Japan, Tokyo is a vast, teeming metropolis nestled between mountains and Tokyo Bay. It's so huge that you'll have to come to grips with public transport and maybe even experience being pushed onto a train. Yes, it does actually happen!
Get your bearings by ascending the Tokyo World Trade Center near the waterfront, and savor the fantastic views taking in the red-and-white Tokyo Tower and Shinkuju's skyscrapers. North is Ueno, home to the best museums (including the Tokyo National Museum) and a large park bursting with cherry blossom in spring.
Equally tranquil are the Chiyoda Imperial Palace and Gardens, surrounded by water. Also in gardens is the Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine in Shibuya, a youthful district where neon abounds.
For more traditional Japanese culture, head to Asakusa whose Sensō-ji Buddhist temple is Tokyo's oldest temple. Outdoor markets sell a variety of wares, though shopping in Tokyo is, of course, fantastic wherever you go.
Whether you stay in a Japanese ryokan, luxury Tokyo hotel or a hostel, don't fly out of Tokyo Narita Airport or Haneda Airport without having tried sushi. Another Japanese institution is the sento (public bath) and onsen (hot springs bath) – a must try. Also incredibly popular are Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, Asia's 2 most visited theme parks.

The 5th starter on today's birthday team has a career record of 1-25. His 1915 was an 82 ERA+ and a record of 1-20 for the 36-117 As.6. Mike Emeigh Posted: November 19, 2012 at 09:43 AM (#4305812)
The 5th starter on today's birthday team has a career record of 1-25. His 1915 was an 82 ERA+ and a record of 1-20 for the 36-117 As.
And yet, he probably wasn't as bad as his record suggests. (That 1-20 was actually 1916, not 1915.) This was a team that was playing 41-YO Nap Lajoie at 2B, had a 20-YO rookie shortstop who committed 59 errors, fielded .903 with a -1.4 dWAR, had a catcher (Wally Schang) playing in the outfield, and a 3B - inappropriately named Charlie Pick - who committed 44 errors, fielded .898, and tossed in -0.6 dWAR. Between the three non-1B infield positions you had nearly -3.0 dWAR. The 1916 As were probably the worst defensive team since 1900.
Not that Nabors was a *good* pitcher, mind you, but there were extenuating circumstances.
Up at THT, it's the 10 greatest Game Fours in LCS history.8. Eric J can SABER all he wants to Posted: November 19, 2012 at 09:45 AM (#4305816)
We agree about the same amount on the contents of the list as we did on Game 3, it looks like.
1. 1988 NLCS (9th)
3. 1992 ALCS (4). Not only did the Jays come back from 5 down over the last 2 innings, but they loaded the bases with go-ahead runs in the top of the ninth after tying it. Then, the A's got a runner to third with one out in the bottom of the ninth, only to have him get cut down at home on a grounder. That's a pretty exciting inning.
5. 1973 NLCS. 1-1 between the Reds and Mets through 8. The Reds loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, loaded them with two out in the tenth, and put runners on the corners with one out in the eleventh, failing to score each time. They finally won it on a Pete Rose solo homer in the twelfth.
8. 2011 ALCS. Nelson Cruz accrues his 5th, 6th, and 7th eleventh-inning RBIs of the series. Also, he throws out Miguel Cabrera at home on a potential go-ahead sac fly in the eighth.
9. 1978 NLCS. Back-and-forth. The Phillies got a go-ahead homer from Greg Luzinski in the third, the Dodgers tied it with a Ron Cey homer in the fourth. Steve Garvey put LA ahead with a sixth-inning solo shot, and Bake McBride matched him an inning later. Both teams left two runners in the eighth, and the game finally ended on a Bill Russell single in the tenth, one play after Garry Maddox made an error.
10. 2008 NLCS. Phillies-Dodgers again, a 30th anniversary special. Seesaw to a 3-3 tie after five. In the sixth, the Dodgers took the lead on a Casey Blake solo homer, and extended it when Ryan Howard made an error on a sac bunt attempt, scoring one runner and putting two others on second and third with nobody out. LA didn't score further, though, and Philly stormed back in the eighth, tying the game on a 2-run homer by Shane Victorino, then taking the lead on a 2-run shot by rotund, ancient Matt Stairs, providing the final 7-5 margin.
I was quite surprised not to see the 1972 AL entry on my list as well, since extra-inning rallies are usually catnip to my win expectancy-based system. It ranks 13th on a very strong list of games, and would have been in the top 10 as recently as 5 years ago; numbers 10, 11, and 12 are NLCS Game Fours from '08, '10, and '09, respectively.
And yet, he probably wasn't as bad as his record suggests.9. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play Posted: November 19, 2012 at 10:33 AM (#4305837)
bWAR adjusts his RA downward by .41 to account for his defense, and ends up actually giving him slight positive value for the 1-20 season.
BIG NEWS10. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: November 19, 2012 at 11:05 AM (#4305860)
Royals sign ex-Phillies stopgap Brian Sanches
Royals sign Atahualpa Severino. I don't know who that is but I hope we get to hear that name again.
Mets sign Brian Bixler
Brewers sign Zach Kroenke, the non-union Mexican equivalent of the guy they had last year.
Cardinals sign ex-Mariners catcher of the future Rob Johnson. With stats of .201/.277/.297 in 791 PA in six big-league seasons he's a sure bet to get at least 100 hits this year with the ####### Cardinals.
Sanches has put up a few decent seasons, I'm kinda surprised he never seems to land a MLB deal. He began his career with the Royals and I remember liking him as a prospect so I'm glad to see him back, even though its most likely he spends most of the year in Omaha.11. Steve N Posted: November 19, 2012 at 11:07 AM (#4305862)
Blue Jays sign P Bobby Korecky
Cubs sign P Shawn Camp
Rangers sign P Scott Olsen

Its hard to imagine someone who was as bad as 1-20.
Sanches has put up a few decent seasons, I'm kinda surprised he never seems to land a MLB deal.
Why would you tie up a roster spot when there are at least 20 guys out there like him?
Atahualpa Severino was originally signed as an amateur FA out of the Dominican by Montreal in 2004. He had a cup of coffee with the Nationals in 2011, and was the guy who was DFA'd when the Nationals picked up Ceser Izturis. He's a lefty reliever with fringe-average stuff who needs better control than he's shown to be successful long-term.14. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: November 19, 2012 at 11:31 AM (#4305884)
I suppose, but it seems like every team has 3-4 guys on their 40 man roster much less valuable than Sanches. For example, the Royals have replaceable guys like Brett Hayes, Adam Moore, Tony Abreu, Clint Robinson, and Francisely Bueno. I'd wager Sanches will be more usful than any of those stiffs.
For example, the Royals have replaceable guys like Brett Hayes, Adam Moore, Tony Abreu, Clint Robinson, and Francisely Bueno. I'd wager Sanches will be more usful than any of those stiffs.
His value is lowered if he has no options left. Most of those guys probably can be swapped on and off the roster whenever. (Abreu probably doesn't either and certainly isn't worth the spot.)
Everett Scott sure got a lot of Hall of Fame votes17. Eric J can SABER all he wants to Posted: November 19, 2012 at 01:23 PM (#4306001)
Everett Scott sure got a lot of Hall of Fame votes18. Mike Emeigh Posted: November 19, 2012 at 03:14 PM (#4306147)
I believe he held the record for consecutive games played before Gehrig. And there was no 5% rule back in his day, as you can see from the fact that he got votes in 14 different years over a 20-year span despite peaking at 3.2%.
I believe he held the record for consecutive games played before Gehrig.
He did indeed. And his streak ended on May 6, 1925. Gehrig's started on June 1, less than a month later, when he pinch hit for Pee Wee Wanninger, who had replaced Scott in the Yankee lineup. Scott played in only six more games for the Yankees after being removed from the lineup, until he was claimed off waivers by the Senators on June 17.
