Good News!! Today third year Beach Bum and Frontier League All-Star Jeff Williams had his contract purchased by the New York Yankees!!!! Williams will report tomorrow to Greensboro, N.C. to join his new team the Charleston (S.C.) RiverDogs in the second game of a series...Williams will join up with former Kalamazoo pitcher Trent Lare at the Single-A affiliate of the Yankees in the South Atlantic League...
The signing is bittersweet for me...As most of you know, Williams and I have lived together for the past three years here in Northern Michigan...I am extremely thrilled for him to get this opportunity and as I have said numerous times baseball is a way to forge lifelong relationships and there is no doubt in my mind that will continue with Jeff, but as you know it is also hard to say goodbye, especially to someone you have grown close with for a three-year stretch...That said...I couldn't be happier for Jeff...Nothing but the best! Represent us well in South Carolina!!!!
