(AL) Rocker & RePete Not Ducks (yet)
(Atlantic League) Rumors on the internets are starting to swirl about the possibility of former Braves reliever John Rocker and Pete Rose, Jr (yes, the son of that Pete Rose) could be joining the Ducks for the '05 season.
RePete is a decent indy league player, earning himself a 2003 All-Star selection for the Joliet Jackhammers (Northern). He hit .260 with 38 RBI's, but his strength is his glove, committing just 4 errors in '03. Rose, Jr's MLB career was not as bright, he was a pinch hitting September call-up for Cincinnati in 1997 going 2-14 in 11 games.
John Rocker, on the other hand, was a proven Major League pitcher with the Atlanta Braves until he assaulted damned near ever race and orientation ever to be born of this earth. Rocker went from a sub 3.00 ERA closer to 5.50+ hanger-on with Cleveland then Tampa Bay.
The Ducks are good about updating their on-line roster, and neither Rocker or Rose, Jr. are listed as active Ducks.
I'll keep you posted if that changes.
