1) The A's placed P Jim Mecir on the 15 day DL, retroactive to July 24, and called up P Chad Harville.

Mecir has inflammation in his right knee. He's been battling knee problems all season and the trainer says he doesn't need more surgery. After 3.43 ERA/6 RSAA and 4.26 ERA/3 RSAA seasons, Mecir has a 5.13 ERA/-2 RSAA in his first 26 games. He has a 3.79 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.68, and 41 RSAA in 342 games.

2) A MRI on Reds P Ryan Dempster showed he has a bone chip in his elbow. He'll have arthroscopic surgery next week and is probably out for the rest of the season.

3) The Reds called up P Josh Hall after they placed Dempster on the DL.

Hall, 22, may be headed right back to the minors after he makes his major league debut by starting today, since the Reds don't need a 5th starter again until August 9. He was given a C grade by John Sickels and was ranked as the Reds #9 prospect by Baseball America. Hall came into the year with a 3.74 ERA in 4 minor league seasons, including a 3.75 ERA in AA in 2002, and he has a 3.20 ERA in 20 starts (21 games) in AA in 2003.

4) On Thursday, Twins P Kenny Rogers reached 1500 career SO.

After 6.19 ERA/-23 RSAA and 3.84 ERA/28 RSAA seasons, Rogers has a 5.24 ERA/-7 RSAA in his first 21 starts. He has a 4.25 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.57, and 83 RSAA in 610 games.

5) The Giants placed P Kirk Rueter on the 15 day DL and called up P Jeff Urban.

Rueter has a strained shoulder. He just came off the DL and was only able to make 1 start before returning to it. Rueter is expected to miss at least 3 weeks, with the Giants saying this injury isn't season ending.

Urban, 26, was given a C grade by Sickels and wasn't included in the Giants top 30 prospect list by BA. he came into the year with 4.09 ERA in 5 minor league seasons, including a 3.41 ERA in AAA in 2002, and he has a 5.08 ERA in 22 games (17 starts) in AAA in 2003.

6) Cardinals P Jeff Fassero reached 1500 career SO.

After 3.42 ERA/6 RSAA and 5.35 ERA/-10 RSAA seasons, Fassero has a 5.74 ERA/-9 RSAA in his first 48 games (3 starts). He has a 3.98 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.37, and 81 RSAA in 607 games.

7) The Devil Rays called up Ps Chad Guadin and Jon Switzer and placed INF Terry Shumpert on the 15 day DL.

Switzer, who turns 24 later in the month, was given a C grade by Sickels and was ranked as the team's #7 prospect by BA. He has a 3.50 ERA in 21 starts in AA in 2003, which is his first time above Hi-A ball.

Guadin, 20, was ranked as the Devil Rays #22 prospect by BA and wasn't included in Sickels's book. He's in his 2nd pro season, after being a 34th round draft pick in 2001, and his only experience above Hi-A ball is a 0.47 ERA in 3 starts in AA in 2003.

Shumpert has a strained right hamstring. After -7 RCAA/.775 OPS and -19 RCAA/.676 OPS seasons with the Rockies, Shumpert is hitting .388 SLG, .278 OBA, .665 OPS, -4 RCAA in his first 51 games (92 PA). He has a .724 career OPS, compared to his league average of .762, and -74 RCAA in 846 games.

8) The Redsox sent P Jason Shiell to the minors and are expected to send INF Lou Collier to the minors when P Jeff Suppan is officially added to the roster tomorrow.

Shiell didn't pitch during this brief callup, while Collier was 0 for 1 in 4 games.

9) Norm McRae died on July 25, at the age of 55.

McRae had a 3.18 ERA/2 RSAA in 22 relief appearances with the 1969-70 Tigers.

10) The Pirates called up OF Tike Redman and P Mark Corey and designated P Jim Mann for assignment.

MGR Lloyd McClendon says Redman will take over the starting CF job. The 26 year old has -6 RCAA/.638 OPS in 47 career games, with most of his major league experience (37 games) coming in 2001. He came into the year with a .702 OPS (.325 OBA, .377 SLG) in 7 minor league seasons and has a .757 OPS (.357 OBA, .400 SLG) in 100 games in AAA in 2003.

Corey has a 9.13 ERA/-12 RSAA in 28 career games.

Mann has a 4.83 ERA/-2 RSAA in 25 career games, including a 10.80 ERA/-1 RSAA in 2 games in 2003.

11) The Whitesox called up P Dan Wright and designated P Rick White for assignment.

Wright will start today. After starting his career with 5.70 ERA/-8 RSAA and 5.18 ERA/-13 RSAA seasons, he has a 5.93 ERA/-8 RSAA in 11 starts.

After 3.88 ERA/2 RSAA and 4.31 ERA/2 RSAA seasons, White has a 6.61 ERA/-10 RSAA in 34 games. He has a 4.19 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.53, and 26 RSAA in 375 games.

12) The Mariners called up INF-OF Chad Meyers and sent INF Luis Ugueto to the minors.

Meyers had -21 RCAA/.543 OPS in 97 games with the 1999-2001 Cubs.

Ugueto has -3 RCAA/.563 OPS in 71 career games, including 0 for 4 in 9 games in 2003.

13) Braves CF Andruw Jones had to leave yesterday's game, after aggravating his strained oblique muscle injury, and is day to day.

14) Reds 3B Russell Branyan had to leave yesterday's game, due to a sprained right ankle.

Branyan takes over the 3B job that was vacated by Aaron Boone's departure. After 3 RCAA/.802 OPS and -2 RCAA/.777 OPS seasons, Branyan is hitting .537 SLG, .370 OBA, .908 OPS, 4 RCAA in his first 40 games. He has a .803 career OPS, compared to his league average of .770, and 6 RCAA in 366 games.

After 3.61 ERA/14 RSAA and 5.79 ERA/-12 RSAA seasons, Lowe has a 6.25 ERA/-5 RSAA in his first 28 games. He has a 4.95 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.57, and -10 RSAA in 248 games.

nyy26wc NetShrine All-Century Team Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: NJ Posts: 14,584	1) The A's placed P Jim Mecir on the 15 day DL, retroactive to July 24, and called up P Chad Harville. Mecir has inflammation in his right knee. He's been battling knee problems all season and the trainer says he doesn't need more surgery. After 3.43 ERA/6 RSAA and 4.26 ERA/3 RSAA seasons, Mecir has a 5.13 ERA/-2 RSAA in his first 26 games. He has a 3.79 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.68, and 41 RSAA in 342 games. 2) A MRI on Reds P Ryan Dempster showed he has a bone chip in his elbow. He'll have arthroscopic surgery next week and is probably out for the rest of the season. 3) The Reds called up P Josh Hall after they placed Dempster on the DL. Hall, 22, may be headed right back to the minors after he makes his major league debut by starting today, since the Reds don't need a 5th starter again until August 9. He was given a C grade by John Sickels and was ranked as the Reds #9 prospect by Baseball America. Hall came into the year with a 3.74 ERA in 4 minor league seasons, including a 3.75 ERA in AA in 2002, and he has a 3.20 ERA in 20 starts (21 games) in AA in 2003. 4) On Thursday, Twins P Kenny Rogers reached 1500 career SO. After 6.19 ERA/-23 RSAA and 3.84 ERA/28 RSAA seasons, Rogers has a 5.24 ERA/-7 RSAA in his first 21 starts. He has a 4.25 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.57, and 83 RSAA in 610 games. 5) The Giants placed P Kirk Rueter on the 15 day DL and called up P Jeff Urban. Rueter has a strained shoulder. He just came off the DL and was only able to make 1 start before returning to it. Rueter is expected to miss at least 3 weeks, with the Giants saying this injury isn't season ending. Urban, 26, was given a C grade by Sickels and wasn't included in the Giants top 30 prospect list by BA. he came into the year with 4.09 ERA in 5 minor league seasons, including a 3.41 ERA in AAA in 2002, and he has a 5.08 ERA in 22 games (17 starts) in AAA in 2003. 6) Cardinals P Jeff Fassero reached 1500 career SO. After 3.42 ERA/6 RSAA and 5.35 ERA/-10 RSAA seasons, Fassero has a 5.74 ERA/-9 RSAA in his first 48 games (3 starts). He has a 3.98 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.37, and 81 RSAA in 607 games. 7) The Devil Rays called up Ps Chad Guadin and Jon Switzer and placed INF Terry Shumpert on the 15 day DL. Switzer, who turns 24 later in the month, was given a C grade by Sickels and was ranked as the team's #7 prospect by BA. He has a 3.50 ERA in 21 starts in AA in 2003, which is his first time above Hi-A ball. Guadin, 20, was ranked as the Devil Rays #22 prospect by BA and wasn't included in Sickels's book. He's in his 2nd pro season, after being a 34th round draft pick in 2001, and his only experience above Hi-A ball is a 0.47 ERA in 3 starts in AA in 2003. Shumpert has a strained right hamstring. After -7 RCAA/.775 OPS and -19 RCAA/.676 OPS seasons with the Rockies, Shumpert is hitting .388 SLG, .278 OBA, .665 OPS, -4 RCAA in his first 51 games (92 PA). He has a .724 career OPS, compared to his league average of .762, and -74 RCAA in 846 games. 8) The Redsox sent P Jason Shiell to the minors and are expected to send INF Lou Collier to the minors when P Jeff Suppan is officially added to the roster tomorrow. Shiell didn't pitch during this brief callup, while Collier was 0 for 1 in 4 games. 9) Norm McRae died on July 25, at the age of 55. McRae had a 3.18 ERA/2 RSAA in 22 relief appearances with the 1969-70 Tigers. 10) The Pirates called up OF Tike Redman and P Mark Corey and designated P Jim Mann for assignment. MGR Lloyd McClendon says Redman will take over the starting CF job. The 26 year old has -6 RCAA/.638 OPS in 47 career games, with most of his major league experience (37 games) coming in 2001. He came into the year with a .702 OPS (.325 OBA, .377 SLG) in 7 minor league seasons and has a .757 OPS (.357 OBA, .400 SLG) in 100 games in AAA in 2003. Corey has a 9.13 ERA/-12 RSAA in 28 career games. Mann has a 4.83 ERA/-2 RSAA in 25 career games, including a 10.80 ERA/-1 RSAA in 2 games in 2003. 11) The Whitesox called up P Dan Wright and designated P Rick White for assignment. Wright will start today. After starting his career with 5.70 ERA/-8 RSAA and 5.18 ERA/-13 RSAA seasons, he has a 5.93 ERA/-8 RSAA in 11 starts. After 3.88 ERA/2 RSAA and 4.31 ERA/2 RSAA seasons, White has a 6.61 ERA/-10 RSAA in 34 games. He has a 4.19 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.53, and 26 RSAA in 375 games. 12) The Mariners called up INF-OF Chad Meyers and sent INF Luis Ugueto to the minors. Meyers had -21 RCAA/.543 OPS in 97 games with the 1999-2001 Cubs. Ugueto has -3 RCAA/.563 OPS in 71 career games, including 0 for 4 in 9 games in 2003. 13) Braves CF Andruw Jones had to leave yesterday's game, after aggravating his strained oblique muscle injury, and is day to day. 14) Reds 3B Russell Branyan had to leave yesterday's game, due to a sprained right ankle. Branyan takes over the 3B job that was vacated by Aaron Boone's departure. After 3 RCAA/.802 OPS and -2 RCAA/.777 OPS seasons, Branyan is hitting .537 SLG, .370 OBA, .908 OPS, 4 RCAA in his first 40 games. He has a .803 career OPS, compared to his league average of .770, and 6 RCAA in 366 games. 15) The Royals sent P Sean Lowe to the minors. After 3.61 ERA/14 RSAA and 5.79 ERA/-12 RSAA seasons, Lowe has a 6.25 ERA/-5 RSAA in his first 28 games. He has a 4.95 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.57, and -10 RSAA in 248 games. __________________ Lee Creator, Complete Baseball Encyclopedia. It's powerful, yet extremely easy to use.
