I don't have any "good" information. What I've heard is that (a) he's not good defensively at any position, so his bat will have to carry him and (b) his bat is not all that quick, and is slower this year than last (he's also bulked up some, apparently).

Omaha - Sent 3B Mark Teahen to Kansas City; received IF Andres Blanco from Kansas City; activated P J.P. Howell from the DL; granted P Adam Bernero free agency (in his contract he can elect free agency if not up by June 1).
Wichita - Recived OF Dee Brown from Omaha; received P Neal Musser from Omaha; suspended P Brian Bass for conduct detrimental to the team (the rumor is he wore a cap that said "f___ the Royals" after being outrighted off the 40 man roster).
In 1996, Casanova was traded from San Diego to Detroit in a forgettable deal involving six fringe players. One of the players who went the other way was a young outfielder named Todd Steverson - now Stockton's manager. Must be a weird feeling to manage a player for whom you were once traded.

He looked very awkward at first base when I saw him when I saw him in Albequerque a couple weeks ago. Just one game I saw, but he didn't look good.
THAT Dee Brown? I thought he was long gone.
Nope. He's still very much around.
