MLB phase: Reegie Corona, 22, New York Yankees. He’s now the frontrunner over Callix Crabbe, Tug Hulett and Chris Woodward to become Seattle’s next Willie Bloomquist. Seattle was also traded cash for the Royals pick, LHRP Jose Lugo of the Minnesota Twins. Lugo will be making the jump all the way from high-A to the majors, [...]

Like many new GMs, Jack Zduriencik has brought in several players that he is familiar with from the Milwaukee Brewers organization, including Russell Branyan, Steve Moss, Mel Stocker, Callix Crabbe and Chris Woodward. He’ll begin diversifying, but expect the trend to continue. Another former Milwaukee Brewer that Zduriencik could be bringing to the NW is veteran [...]

There are people all over the place who love to mock the whole replacement level concept. Fortunately there are people like Jack Zduriencik who love to prove them wrong. The Mariners have added two infielders to the system: Chris Woodward and Callix Crabbe. You might be more familiar with Woodward because of his 1600 Major League at bats, but he's a 32 year old pile of crap, and Crabbe is the interesting...

The Seattle Mariners are on the verge of signing (or have already signed) Callix Crabbe, according to an unconfirmed source. It is currently unknown whether this is a minor league, major league or split contract. I have briefly mentioned Crabbe as a minor league free agent Seattle could take a look at to fill the utility [...]

But the Padres opted to foist players like Paul McAnulty and Callix Crabbe on an unsuspecting public in 2008, sank like a stone in the standings, turned off their fans, watched attendance decline dramatically and then fastened their seatbelts to see how badly owner John Moores' impending divorce will contribute to shrinking the ballclub's finances. GM Towers seeks to end Padres' year of turmoil by...

Have you heard about the rookie utilityman playing with the Padres? (No, that's not a leading question.) His name is -- and this is wonderful -- Callix Crabbe. There's no doubt that such a fabulously-monikered player would eventually make one or more Hall of Names team(s), though he's only the fifth player to make the bigs with "Crab" in his surname, so there probably isn't enough for an All-Shellfish...

Just got back from the beach. Glorious day today. What better way to spend the evening then to watch the ultimate rivalry. Oh... dang! Johnny Dub is cruising over to swoon over Ichiro. Callix Crabbe is officially back with the Brewers today. It's a shame that didn't work out. It's go time. Go Padres!! [Note by jbox, 05/16/08 7:01 PM PDT ] Here are some interesting trends : SD has lost 17 of its last...

SAN DIEGO—When Callix Crabbe reported to spring training, the only thing fans knew about him was that he had an interesting name. By the time spring training was over, they had learned the 5-foot-7 bundle of energy could play the game. The Padres took Crabbe from the Brewers in the major league Rule 5 draft in December, so it was an all-or-nothing deal when he got to camp. And he knew it.

Listen, general manager Kevin Towers and manager Bud Black might already have a good idea of how some of these final roster spots -- the bench job, Callix Crabbe and spots in the bullpen -- will finally shake out, but...

Remember back when I did the Rule 5 write-up how I loved the Crabbe pick? It turns out he might just be making the Padres after all, per the official site . Switch hitting versatile guy with a line drive stroke? I don't know too much about his defense but certainly the Padres aren't the only team who could've used such a player at a modest rate.
