Bukvich pitched in quite a few games out of the Royals pen a few years ago, IIRC. He also has local roots (Naperville) and has the last name closest to looking like mine in baseball, so hooray. I don't know who the hell Sean Smith is though.
December 22, 200619 yr Bukvich is 28 and from Naperville. He is a AAA righty reliever. Had some time with the Royals 02-04 and the Rangers in 05. His AAA career ERA is 4.53, MLB career ERA is 6.94. Control issues (to say the least) but has more innings pitched than hits against in the bigs. Lang is a rookie? I couldn't find much without actually trying, but he played for UNLV in 2005 and an independent team in 06. Smith was in the system last year.
