Chuck Tanner was hired as a special assistant to the GM. I'm sorry, but this seems like the same type of PR crap the old front office loved so much. It's nice to see him back with the club and all, but he's almost 80 years old and I can't imagine he's going to be much help to Huntington.

Neal Huntington apparently is shopping Jason Bay. So apparently we'll find out what kind of GM he's going to be pretty quickly (via Bucs Dugout and Honest Wagner).

Base coaches will wear helmets in light of the Mike Coolbaugh tragedy this summer.

Thor would like to come back. Unfortunately for him, we have about 8 guys that play his position(s) and they've sucked a lot less recently than he has.
