Niko Gallego the Movie Star
Curt Rallo of the South Bend Tribune published this piece in today's paper about Niko Gallego and his role in the movie Moneyball.
Always an interesting story when you talk about ballplayers being actors and actors playing sports. My goal is to grab Niko for a pregame interview today as well, so we may dive into this more on the pregame show if he's available for an interview after batting practice.

A Mention of the Hawks in Crooked Numbers
Every month, Benjamin Hill of MiLB.com does a column titled Crooked Numbers with all the oddities that happened around Minor League Baseball over the past month.
In the latest column, I noticed that the Silver Hawks were mentioned for having five batters hit by a pitch in the game against Dayton on July 5th. What wasn't mentioned is the fact that technically Niko Gallego was hit twice -- remember that was the game where Mark Haley got ejected because they ruled Gallego made no effort to get out of the way of the ball.
Being the astute Media Relations Director that I am, I felt that Mr. Hill needed this information. Not only did he add it to his column, he gave me a mention as well. I can now cross "getting mentioned in a MiLB.com column by Ben Hill" off of my baseball bucket list. Combine that with meeting Dan Shulman from ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball at the stadium yesterday, and I'm having a solid week.

Today's Roster Move - July 3rd
And here we go with another roster move:
INF Mike Freeman placed on DL retroactive to July 2nd.
INF Niko Gallego joins team from AA Mobile.
OF Bobby Stone removed from roster and sent to Arizona for further evaluation.
Analysis: Freeman injured his knee on the rundown play in Lake County. Hopefully, he will not miss too much time but I think the concern is whether there is any damage to the ligaments. Gallego was not playing much at all in Mobile, so he gets a chance to come to South Bend and play a bit more often. Stone hasn't played since mid-May and he keeps having setbacks in his recovery from an arm injury. They are going to fly him back to Phoenix for more rehab and evaluation.
