NOTHING OFFICIAL SO FAR ABOUT SCOTT KAZMIR JOINING SUGAR LAND

The heavily rumored story that onetime major league all-star Scott Kazmir would be signing to play with Sugar Land still was without confirmation late Friday afternoon from either the Atlantic League or on the Skeeters' website.

The left-hander won at least 10 games for Tampa Bay every season from 2005-08 before his power pitches started falling off. The Los Angeles Angels released Kazmir last season, and if he intends to try getting his career back on track Sugar Land would be an ideal location since it is right next to his Houston home. He is only 28 or prime time for many players.

The Skeeters, struggling at 22-31 and in last place in the Freedom Division, recently added two-time Atlantic League all-star outfielder Steve Moss, but he is off to a dreadfully slow start (0-for-10, seven strikeouts) even though he had been playing in Mexico. Moss was an all-star the last two seasons with Bridgeport.

CARDINALS RELEASE MITCH CANHAM

Early in training camp, it appeared Mitch Canham, a member of two Oregon State College World Series championship teams, might be catching for Long Island. Then he was signed by St. Louis and the 27-year-old went to Triple-A Memphis. He hit only .125 (6-for-48) and did not drive in any runs in his 18 appearances before being released.
