Alumni Report

Plenty going on in Jay's Timber Rattler Alumni Report at the Rattler home page.

For example:

Northern League
Winnipeg Goldeyes
Agreed to terms with INF Brent Metheny ('03,'04)

Brent is proving he will go anywhere to play baseball. After playing for the Mid-Missouri Mavericks of the Frontier League in 2005, he was back in affiliated ball in '06, playing for [Omar] Munoz and the Kannapolis Intimidators in the White Sox organization. 2007 leads him back to independent ball (at least to start), as the 26 year old heads up to Canada .

Look down the page a bit and see how well Metheny hit in Colombia this season.

American Association
Coastal Bend Aviators agreed to terms with RHP Bryan Heaston ('03,'04)
Heaston played independent ball prior to coming to the Rattlers in '03 and returned there after his release from Mariners following the 2004 season. He spent the 2005 season with the Edinburg Roadrunners before joining Coastal Bend in '06 and going 7-4. Former Timber Rattler Derrick Van Dusen ('01) also played for the Aviators last season.

Australian Claxton Shield Tournament
Craig Anderson ('00) - 3 G, 0-0, 1 SV, 1.86 ERA in 9.2 IP, 8 K, 3 BB
Dan Floyd ('01,'02) - 15 AB, 2 RBI, 1 SB, .400 AVG

Floyd hit very well for his Western Australia squad, but didn't have much help as they went 0-5. Floyd's .400 average was second best in the tournament. Floyd last played in the States for Rockford of the Frontier League in 2004. Anderson 's New South Wales team made it through the first round a perfect 5-0, but lost twice to Victoria in the championship round to finish second.
