Alumni news round-up

Just in case you've been living under a rock, it's Brad Halsey's turn to make sure Barry Bonds doesn't tie the record. Quote:

"I would prefer not to be the one, mostly because of the simple fact that I don't like to give up home runs," said Halsey, who has never faced Bonds. "But it's not going to change the way I pitch to him. However we decide to go after him is the way I'll go after him. It's no different, other than the fact that he's close to tying Babe Ruth." (Link.)

Heh. UPDATE. Huston Street struck Bonds out to end the game last night as he recorded his 7th save of the year.

In the news round-up I posted in April I said I'd post news about several "missing" alumni if I could find it. And, I found a few things so here you go...

• Matt Goodson is playing with the Wilmington Blue Rocks - Red Sox Class A Advanced
• Brantley Jordon is playing with the San Angelo Colts - a United League team.
• Jesen Merle is playing with the St. Joe Blacksnakes - an American Association team based in St. Joseph, MO. He just picked up his first win.
• Jeff Ontiveros is playing with the Coastal Bend Aviators - an American Association team based in Robstown.
