Here Again
For already the fourth time this season, a former major league pitcher will start tonight in Chico against the Outlaws at Nettleton Stadium. Kevin Frederick, who was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 17th round of the 1997 amateur draft, made 30 major league relief appearances in stints with the Twins (2002) and Toronto Blue Jays (2004) for an 0-2 record and 7.59 ERA. For the Silver Sox this year, Frederick is 0-1 in three starts and also a handful of relief outings.
The Outlaws have twice been beaten by former San Francisco Giants hurler Jerome Williams of the Long Beach Armada, but they were able to rough up former Cleveland Indians/Texas Rangers right-hander Ricardo Rodriguez of the Edmonton Cracker Cats.
