Jays give Loewen minor deal 
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired two of the top four picks in the 2002 draft Friday, signing converted pitcher Adam Loewen to a minor league contract and claiming right-hander Bryan Bullington off waivers. Bullington was selected by Pittsburgh with the top overall selection and Loewen was taken fourth by the Baltimore Orioles. Neither player has panned out so far professionally. Baltimore released Loewen on Monday, but had hoped to re-sign him to a minor league deal. Loewen, a native of Surrey, British Columbia, acknowledged leaving the Orioles was "extremely difficult," but said the chance to join Toronto was too good to pass up. "I grew up watching the Blue Jays and was a huge fan all my life," he said. "This is a great opportunity. I'm really excited to get going." MLB Player News: CBSSports.com, 2008-10-25 05:22:04

Baldelli plays a full nine innings
Rays OF Rocco Baldelli picked the biggest of stages to play nine innings in the field for the first time since returning from a career-threatening illness, doing so in Game 2 of the World Series against the Phillies on Thursday. Baldelli, who has a mitochondrial disorder that causes muscle fatigue, went 0-for-2 with a walk. "I guess it's somewhat ironic that it comes up in the World Series; it's the one that I was able to go the longest in," Baldelli said. "It also helps to know in a week I'm not going to have play baseball for a while. So there's no reason to keep anything in reserve now." MLB Player News: CBSSports.com, 2008-10-24 11:22:04
