Today's Southern Fried Specials

• Rhyne Hughes, the former Picayune High School and Pearl River Community College standout, as well as former Ole Miss signee, was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Baltimore Orioles to complete and earlier trade. Hughes is am outfielder and first baseman, who could also be a DH, and probably has a better shot at making it to the Big Leagues with the Orioles, so congrats to him. He will be assigned to AAA for the time being.
• There was a great story on former Ole Miss standout Lance Lynn on MLB.com. Lynn is currently with the St. Louis Cardinals AA team in Springfield, Missouri and was called one of the Cardinals top pitching prospects in the article. I expect Lynn to pitch in Memphis next year, so all you Ole Miss fans that are in that area, be sure to make it a point to see him once again.
• Cody Abraham, who recently committed to the Mississippi State Bulldogs has an interesting background. And no, I'm not talking about the fact that he is related to Jimmy Abraham the well-known MSU faculty member. Abraham has played in the Little League World Series, which to my knowledge Abraham may be the first player in MSU history to have played in Williamsport.
