Minor Moves: Hayhurst, Pettit

By Dan Mennella | January 31, 2012 at 5:29pm CDT

We'll keep track of today's minor league transactions right here …

  • Dirk Hayhurst, formerly of the Padres and Blue Jays, announced that he'll be pitching in an Italian league in 2012 (Twitter links). The right-hander, also an author, has become something of a cult hero the past couple years as he's documented his experiences as a career minor leaguer. Hayhurst spent 2011 in the Rays organization.
  • The Dodgers signed outfielder Chris Pettit to a minor league contract, tweets Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. Petit, a 27-year-old right-handed hitter, appeared in one game with the Angels in 2011 and 10 in 2009.

    This is kind of bizzare, I was JUST reading an article by Hayhurst about how he didn’t know where he was going to play or if he was ever going to play again in Sportsnet Magazine. (Think Canadian Sports Illustrated)

    Apparently Dirk wants to become a world traveling baseball mercenary.

    Sounds like a third book to me!

      Fourth. His third’s about his time with the Jays and is in-progress, I think.

          You misunderstood. His second is coming out (I’ve pre-ordered), but I believe he is already writing his third book, which is about his time with the Jays. So, anything he writes about Italy would be a fourth.

            You know people don’t have anything to talk about when they are debating how many books Dirk Hayhurst has written

              No kidding. How many days until pitchers and catchers report?

    Well, we now know what the focus of Dirk’s third book will be

    Good for Dirk. Hopefully he has a great time.

    Hopefully Chris Pettit gets a shot with the Dodger. He was seriously blocked playing for the Angels.

      Yeah nice numbers in ’09, but then missed a year with a shoulder injury and couldn’t hit a lick last year.
