November 2, 200520 yr Orioles signed first baseman Leo Daigle to a minor league contract. Daigle put up some of the best numbers in the minors over the first half of last season, but he did so as a 25-year-old in the Carolina League. When the White Sox tried him in Triple-A, he hit .220 with two homers in 91 at-bats. He was then returned to Single-A Winston-Salem, where he finished up with a .341/.414/.637 line and 29 homers in 411 at-bats. Now 26, he hardly qualifies as a prospect. Whether he plays at Double- or Triple-A next year will depend on what happens with Walter Young.
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) R.I.P. Leo Daigle Fan Club. At least he's married to Jennie Finchgreen> No, that's Casey Daigle, a pitcher with Arizona or TB or something like that.
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) No, that's Casey Daigle, a pitcher with Arizona or TB or something like that. That's why he put the forest green tag in after his sentence.
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 06:52 AM) That's why he put the forest green tag in after his sentence. I didn't catch that, I'm an idiot
November 2, 200520 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) Any reason the Orioles have a lust over our Single-A journeymen? This is the same team that traded for Sammy Sosa...any more questions?
November 2, 200520 yr Best of luck to him. I don't think he'll ever turn into much of a major leaguer, but hopefully he'll be able to get to the majors and stick. From all I heard he was a good character guy.
