Southern Fried Specials

As most of you know by now, former Meridian Community College pitcher as well as University of Arkansas pitcher, and former Cy Young Award winner, Cliff Lee was traded from the Cleveland Indians to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Mississppi State pitchers Jared Wesson and Rickey Bowen both signed pro contracts in the last few days, Wesson signed with the Detroit Tigers and Bowen with the Cincinnati Reds. I will admit that I have done my share of Bowen bashing, but I will never forget the game where he was one out away from no-hitting Ole Miss in 2008. Good luck to both of them.

Apparently Conner Powers and the Los Angeles Dodgers have resumed talks, but no word on how they are going. I would suspect that since talks have resumed that the Dodgers will try to sweeten the pot to try to get Powers. We'll see what comes of it.

Now for some high school baseball- Don't be shocked if Kaleb Barlow- the highly sought after infielder from Jackson Prep who is being recruited by both MSU and LSU- ends up signing with a Junior College. Of course, there is also the pssibility that Barlow could go in the draft next June as well.
