    Mark Grace, in court Thursday, pleaded guilty to endangerment and DUI, avoiding what could have been a lengthy prison sentence.

    Instead, a judge imposed a sentence that includes work-release jail time as well as three years of supervised probation. Additionally, an Interlock device must be installed in his vehicle for six months and he will need permission to travel out of state.

    His work-release sentence begins Feb. 10.

    Grace, a former Diamondbacks player and broadcaster, was charged with ...

    Lane has some value as a hitter. Do the Diamondbacks have any interest in Brooks Kieschnicking him?

    In any case this would definitely be the best hitting lefty-righty bullpen combo in history.

    I don't see how Lane can make the Dbacks bullpen next year, with Breslow and Paterson slotted as the two lefties there.

    The Diamondbacks will likely have right-hander Micah Owings back in their pen next year. It’d be fascinating to see the team try to pair the two once in a while: they could alternate between left field and the mound, with Owings facing righties and Lane taking on lefties.


    This would make me so happy.

    Wouldn't it make more sense at 1B? Lane has been mostly an OF for a while now, but he did play 1B a good amount in the minors, and from what I gather, 1B is where Owings played most often in college. Last offseason, when the D-Backs talked about possibly using Owings in the field, it was at 1B. Also, you wouldn't be removing a Gold Glove fielder from the game that way.

    All you jerks with your contrived rules to "speed up the game" are going to prevent this from happening.

    And Kirk Gibson will be denied the chance to be the new TLR.

    35? Wow. That happened fast.

    When Lane was the starting right fielder for the Astros several years ago, I always wanted to see him come in to a blow out or long extra inning game as the position player who becomes the pitcher of last resort. But the situation never arose. The Astros said that Lane was a promising relief pitcher in college.

    Is Lane the best hitter who's attempted to come back as a pitcher?

    Usually seems these guys are minor leaguers hitting .220/.250/.310

    I was going to say Mark Lemke, but... yikes. Was it only 20 years ago a guy with those offensive stats could stick on a major league roster if he played up the middle?

    Middle infielders can stick on rosters today with poor bats. Adam Everett, Nick Punto, Yuni Betancourt, Alex Gonzalez, Alex Gonzalez, Ramon Santiago, ect
