By Allan

Here are a few links to follow on Saturday:

  • Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times says the Seattle Mariners have signed former Minor League All Star Tom Wilhelmsen, 27, to a Minor League contract. Last season for the Tucson Toros of the independant Golden League, he struck out 13 batters over 11 2/3 innings with 2 saves.
  • ESPN says that 19 year old Braves right fielder Jason Heyward is making good strong impressions at Spring Training this year. Pitcher Derek Lowe said, “his BP is frightening.”
  • Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox understands that his days may be numbered with the Chicago White Sox. “And if that happens, fine. That’s great. We’ve had a great run. I know what I can control and I don’t foresee whatever the ending is being bad because I see both sides wanting to handle it the right way.” Konerko, 33, is completing a five-year, $60 million contract this season.

  • According to Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Time, former White Sox slugger Jermaine Dye is “shocked” that he’s unemployed.
