			<link>http://nlfan.yuku.com/topic/3456/t/Wirz-suggests-free-agent-market-may-help-Indy-League.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In Bob Wirz&#39; latest newsletter he suggests that the MLB free agent market may lead to more players (and agents) looking at indy ball as a &quot;backup
plan&quot; if they&#39;re not picked up. His idea is that non-roster invitees are typically given only a quick look and usually the first to go.  Signing to an
indy club keeps options open to all teams and doesn&#39;t tie a player to one (marginally interested) club.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m not sure that should be a new idea.  Unless the free... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ This from the AP
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Pontiac Silverdome, built three decades ago for $56 million, is being virtually given away - sold at auction for a paltry $583,000. That comes out to $7.25
a seat, a fire sale that&#39;s reduced the once-proud arena to another sad symbol of the Detroit area&#39;s economic collapse.
<br>
<br>
The new owners apparently are a Toronto operation with plans to put a soccer stadium on the site.

ball, striking out two. He had played pro ball in the past with the Aces as well as made the Braves the year the players striked. Maybe JPD could be the answer
to the Cats pitching problems???
