I would expect a handful to return.

I would have absolutely no problem if Hesseman (as DH/1B w/ Singleton) and Snyder returned to OKC. Mock has already been signed by the D-Backs, not sure about the others.

But, hey, it's something to talk about.

I bet Shuck and Angel Sanchez co-purchased a sweet couch when they were both at OKC, and neither one wanted to let the other have it outright.

Nice kid, I wish him well (even if it is with our new arch-rivals the Loz Angeleeeeeezzzzz Angels of Anaheim....).
