Are we going to resign any of these clowns as AAA fodder?

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.

Minor league free agents are kinda like a yard sale, sometimes, someone else's junk looks better than your junk.  We will sign some from other teams and some of those on that list will sign with someone else.

Well said.

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

Hessman won't be back with OKC, as Matt Eddy reports he's signed with the Reds.

[Duman]

Shuck won't be back either.  Signed a minor league deal with the Angles.

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....).
