Will Clark to Help Cardinals in Florida

.c The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Former St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Will Clark will help the team as a guest instructor during spring training.

Clark, who retired as an active player following the 2000 season, joined the Cardinals at the trading deadline in 2000 after leaving the Baltimore Orioles.

The six-time All-Star thrilled Cardinals fans with his clutch hitting down the stretch as the Redbirds advanced to the NL championship series.

Also Thursday, the Cardinals claimed outfielder Colin Porter off waivers from the Houston Astros. Porter, 28, hit .320 for New Orleans last season, sixth in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.

Do we need to update the WATN page again?

I have a few updates to do, thanks for the update!  

I should just do them right now, but I'm lazy tonight...  Should have a front-page update tomorrow.  Thanks again...

[TβG]

Are you updating all that "minor league insrtuctor" and "spring training insturctor"... because there's at least one rbi'er coaching in the mexican, dominican, puerto rican or venezualen leagues-- i saw it the other day, i think it was wally backman.

Will Clark has been added...

I'd add Backman, but couldn't find the info on him.  Let me know if you find a direct link....

Edit - I found him, he's the manager of the Santurce Crabbers.  Not only that, but Dickie Thon is a coach!  Two for one, solid...

Backman just lost his AA managing position

That show Will and Grace would be better if it starred Will Clark and Mark Grace.

I see another manager in the Puerto Richan League:

Jose "cheo" Cruz

Anyone know if this is the RBI Jose Cruz?

[BDawk]

That it is Edward. Jose Cruz was commonly called Cheo.

[Gantry]

Excellent!  It's obvious that any player looking to break into the big leagues should be playing in the Puero Rican league during the winter.  So much quality RBI coaching that you can't go wrong!

And how far has Wally Backman fallen?  Went from AA manager to almost Manager of the White Sox to Puerto Rican League Manager.  Ouch...

[BDawk]

Speaking of Jose Cruz, look what I found

He looks very much like one of the assasins in Scarface that tried to kill Tony in the club.

[Gantry]

Nice!  Time to add that to the links page, along with Garrelts and Burks.  It's a good day for dee-nee.com updates...

Im happy to have him on board, even as an instructor.

[Glassjoe]

That it is Edward.

Clark Griswold quotes are always good stuff.

Eddie, I couldn't be more surprise if I woke up with my head sewn to the floor!
