The Unhittable Case of Patrick Schuster

We reported last week on JW Mitchell High School lefty Patrick Schuster had tied the Florida State record for consecutive no-hitters with 3. At the time he was tied with Ben Webb who did it in 1985 and Sam Militello who did it in 1987. Well, Patrick Schuster can now say that he is the only Floridian to ever throw 4 consecutive games without allowing a hit. Unbelievable.

On April 3, 2009 ,JW Mitchell High School senior lefthander Patrick Schuster tossed a 17 strike out No-Hitter against Land O’ Lakes High School in 7 innings, and if that didn’t catch the scouts’ eyes, he took the mound again 5 days later and proceeded to baffle River Ridge High School.

Mariners move Aumont to the pen

Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times reports that the Seattle Mariners have abandoned, for now, any plans to have former No. 1 draft pick Phillippe Aumont continue in a starting role. As was the case with Brandon Morrow, a first-rounder from 2006 now serving as a full-time reliever, Aumont has made a switch to the bullpen.

Even Baker had to do a follow up story this afternoon in disbelief. “Given the sensitivity of this topic, I phoned Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik back again tonight and went over some of the reasoning behind the move to send Phillippe Aumont to the bullpen. First off, it’s yet to be decided whether he’ll go to Class AA or High Class A High Desert, and Zduriencik told me it’s actually most likely going to be the latter.”

BI goes to Spring Training

Baseball Instinct, Inc recently had its Auction for its flagship fantasy league Baseball Tonight in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. We gathered league members from New York City, as far as Northwest Washington State and one member of our league even making it all the way from Hong Kong. We gathered for a weekend of Baseball, Friends and Food and got in our Annual Auction while we were at it. I want to take a moment to thank the staff of the Palm Beach Gardens DoubleTree Hotel for their time and effort as well as the staff at Taverna Opa in West Palm Beach for a great night of food and dancing.
