About Nine Teams Watch Benson
UPDATE, 12-19-07 at 11:07am: The Braves were in attendance, according to a source of mine.
UPDATE, 12-19-07 at 8:42am: The Giants were in attendance, so we know eight of the nine teams that watched Benson. Is it normal for each team to send three scouts, by the way? It's been said that 25 of them watched.
UPDATE, 12-18-07 at 1:39pm: The Yankees, Mets, Astros, and Phillies definitely attended. I also received an email about a radio report indicating the Cards were there. That's seven of the nine.
FROM 12-18-07 at 10:40am:
According to Todd Zolecki, about nine teams watched free agent Kris Benson throw 60 pitches yesterday. The Phillies and Nationals were definitely present.
Feel free to guess at the other seven teams. The Astros were probably there, and some of the Yankees, Cardinals, Royals, Marlins, Rockies, and Dodgers were probably on hand as well.
Benson had surgery in March to repair a partially torn rotator cuff. Before that he'd usually been good for 180 nearly league average innings.

The only Reason thos team scouts were there, was because they were told Anna Benson would be there dressed up like Mrs. Claus....
Seriously why were the Mets there... If they tried to Sign Benson, you would see the first ever "Divorce Clause" in baseball. Anna is not allowed near Shea or any other Mets organizational events.
PS I don't even think she is that hot..

I highly doubt the Mets would be there unless we think he goes 21-4 and packaged with Ryan Church, we get back Scott kazmir.

I have a hard time believing that only 9 times were scouting this high risk/zero reward pitcher.
Who doesn't need a guy with a history of injury problems, coming off a major injury, who was never really that good to begin with?
He's yet another example of a highly touted prospect who is now just a washed up ball player on his last leg. Another can't misser that we all missed.

Dang, I was hoping to be the first to lob over the "were they there to watch Anna or suffering thru watching Kris?" ditty.
oh well.

This doesn't make sense for the Giants unless they are getting ready to trade a starter for Rios.
In turn that wouldn't make sense because we now have 5 OF's already.
Bret Tomko's wife Julia is way hotter than Anna...

Zito, you're right. She was a playmate, when her name was Julia Schultz. google her. You won't be sorry.
