Sean Fesh and other Sponsorship Notes

+ Sean Fesh, a career minor leaguer out of Connecticut is the latest player to be sponsored. Fesh's Fan Club Home Page is the generous sponsor for the next year. A perfect fit.

Fesh is a left-handed pitcher who was drafted by the Astros in 1991 in the 61st round and he signed, a feat in itself. As a left-handed reliever for most of his career, he put up good numbers at all levels, reaching AAA in 1995 but never going higher, almost inexplicably. One would have thought a lefty-reliever with a career minor league ERA of 3.32 would have had the luck to have at least once chance but it was not to be.

+ Speaking of sponsorships, there's going to be a big change to the system in the next few days. The enhancement will involve improving exposure for those who sponsor a page by propogating your web sites to other pages on the site that are not sponsored. The feature will only be for those sponsors with a web site listed and there is no extra charge for this exposure. The only downside is that if you sponsor a page, your link will not be propogated until the next site build but lately, that's been about once a week so no need to worry. More information in the coming days.

+ Another new column is coming to the player stats areas for major leaguers. Ground-ball% will be added to major league stats in the coming days.
