2007 Ken Phelps All-Star JR House has left the Orioles organization. He had an opt-out clause if he wasn't on the major league roster by July 1. Can't blame him for wanting a chance. Hopefully some smart team will pick him up, make him the DH and forget all about catching. He'd be a fine fit on the Twins -- they need a DH.
Ryan Raburn, another 2007 Ken Phelps All-Star, has been called up by the Tigers to replace the suspended (and crappy) Neifi "Nifty" Perez. So far he has one hit in one at bat, with one RBI. Let's all hope that Raburn gets to play more before he's sent back down. It's unfortunate for Ryan that he hits lefties better than righties -- Craig Monroe is getting killed by RHP this year (.179/.241/.308) but hits LHP pretty well (.338/.347/.618). Might've had a platoon there if they didn't have the same splits.
