Southpaw Sam Narron has gotten a new Triple-A contract from Milwaukee. The 29-year-old is finishing up what has been a 15-win season by working in the Venezuelan Winter League, and Brewers brass obviously are happy. Narron was 4-2(1.61) in seven starts for Camden early in the season, with consecutive nine-inning shutouts at the end before his contract was sold about June 1. Then he went 9-7, 4.14 for Nashville, and has won two of three decisions for Caracas (3.82) although he has not pitched since November 19. That is a long season.
JOE KLEIN ACTIVE
Executive Director Joe Klein always brings attention to the Atlantic League during the winter meetings, and this year was no exception. As one of five members of the Scout of the Year Advisory Board, Klein is part of the impressive dais for the annual Scout of the Year reception, which was held Wednesday evening.
This is an ideal post for Klein since the scouts work the Atlantic League all season for players. The room also was filled with major league scouting directors.
NO ONE WAS DRAFTED
The annual Rule 5 draft was conducted Thursday morning, but not a single Atlantic Leaguer was taken. Independent Baseball did have five of its graduates chosen at the Triple-A level. (Note: They are featured on another of this typist's sites, www.IndyBaseballChatter.com.)
