Whatever happened to....

Austin Bibens-Dirkx?

Well, here's his myspace page.

Here's a youtube.com video of one of his songs....



Here is a link to his CD.

Here is a release from the Victoria Seals of the Golden Baseball League:

The Golden Baseball League announced today that the Victoria Seals have sold the contract of RHP Austin Bibens-Dirkx to the Victoria Seals. The Salem, Oregon native was leading the GBL in strikeouts with 54 in 48 innings pitched and was in the Top Ten in the League Leaders in E.R.A. as well. This marks the first time Victoria has sent a player to an affiliated deal, just over a month into the club's inaugural season.

They sold the contract to themselves? Is that good business? Oh, a mistake. It's a good thing that I'm perfect so that I can point stuff like that out to other people.

Oh, here it is.

The Peoria Chiefs in conjunction with the Chicago Cubs have announced that right-handed pitcher Austin Bibens-Dirkx will join the team after being signed by the Cubs out of the Independent Golden Baseball League.

Bibens-Dirkx pitched in the Seattle Mariners organization from 2006-2008 and spent most of the 2006 season in the Midwest League with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.

Welcome back, ABD. See you in a few.
