A couple of nights ago, we were watching a bit of BAL - TOR game. Bunch of ex-Bucs

Happ was pitching for TOR

Pearce hit a HR, was high-fived by Pedro, Worley in the bullpen

Bautista, Martin, and Grilli were in the game and Grilli got the loss

One reason for a lot of Bucs on BAL is John Russell is the bench coach

Brian Morris has been Dfa by the Marlins. I wonder if the Bucs would have any interest to bringing him back for bullpen depth in 2017 ?

Is he supposed to be able to pitch in 2017?

Liriano Takes Line Drive to Head

Not good for the former Bucco. Do wish him a quick and healthy recovery.

Rajai Davis has had a decent career since being traded by the Bucs in 2007. He is probably the last player that Dave Littlefield traded before he was fired in September 2007. I hope Davis has a good series in the ALCS.

Rick van den Hurk had some injury time this year, but went 7-3 for SoftBank in Japan. He also won two playoff games, but SoftBank fell short in their attempt to return to the Japan series after winning last year.

Edit - just following up on some others:

Kris Johnson had his second straight big year with the Hiroshima Carp, 15-7, 2.15, and will play in the Japan Series with the Carp;

Mike Zagurski went 3-1, 4.96 for Yokohama;

Erik Cordier, who spent 2013 at Indy, went 0-2, 7.30 for Orix;

Brad Eldred hit .294 with 21 homers for Hiroshima;

Anderson Hernandez, who played for Indy in 2012, hit .249 for Chunichi;

Garrett Jones hit .258 with 24 homers for Yomiuri;

Luis Cruz hit .252 with 11 homers for Yomiuri;

Brent Morel hit .244 with 8 homers for Orix.

Korea:

Erik Hacker had another strong year for NC Dinos, 11-3, 3.56;

Allen Webster went 4-4, 5.70 for Samsung. He never played for the Pirates, but was in the organization for three weeks last offseason and BB-Ref shows him wearing a Pirate cap.

Italy:

Ronny Cedeno hit .366 for Bologna;

Mexico:

Nyjer Morgan .306 for Puebla;

Ronny Paulino .287 for two teams;

Jose Castillo .276 for two teams.

There's certainly others who played overseas that I missed.
