The Sox have apparently signed Denny Tomori, he of the claimed 95mph/152kmh sidearm fastball. He certainly seems like the eccentric sort the Sox quite like, more in the Millar-Damon mold. And he has a nice leg-kick. Some analysis of Tomori here. I wonder if anyone out there saw him pitch in the Pioneer League for Butte?
Also, Hideo Nomo got signed to a minor league contract by the Devil Rays. Good luck to him, I’ll never forget watching his 28-up, 27-down 1-hitter on the TV at Lanes and Games in Alewife, back in 2001. Great game.
