Already In Camp

Jonathan Papelbon, Ryan Kalish, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Daniel Nava and Lenny DiNardo are already working out at the Red Sox complex in Fort Myers, Florida.
Example
Brian Bonner was laid off last month from his job as Champ, the mascot for the Yankees' AAA team (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre). He has brought a lawsuit against the team, claiming that it violated worker protection laws, classifying him as a "marketing and community relations manager" to avoid paying him overtime (sometimes 80 hours per week).
Example
U.S. District Court Judge Sterling Johnson has rebuffed Fat Billy's attempt to get Brian McNamee's defamation suit against him thrown out on jurisdictional grounds. While Johnson ruled that Clemens can be sued in New York, any further activity in the case is on hold until mid-September because the TCM will be busy this summer defending himself from criminal charges (including lying to a congressional committee) in a federal trial set to begin in early July.

Cause you know the parent organization is really hurting for money.

That's a very interesting list of players already in camp. It's a good sign that Paps and Salty (I'll nominate him as the first player that requires a JoS nickname because "Salty" is too obvious and isn't good enough) are already there.

Did you see this tidbit about Fat Billy? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-clemens-steroids
