It appears those two names will be the next on the Somerset Patriots roster. Both are IN NEGOTIATIONS (which is not the same as "have signed with") with the Patriots.
Knight is -- wait for it....wait for it.... --- a former New York Yankee.
That brings the count of former Yankees prospects and Brett Jodie teammates on the Patriots to 1,234,567,890. Depending on how die hard a Yankees fan you are, you might remember Knight, who appeared in 11 games for the 2001 and 2002 big-league team.
Cannon -- who is not to be confused with former Atlantic League knuckleballer Joe Gannon or 70s major leaguer Joe Cannon -- pitched for the Long Island Ducks in 2003 and at Triple-A the following season. There is no record of him pitching anywhere last season.
Both seem like quality additions from looking at their career statistics, and with at least one Patriots pitcher rumored to be close to signing elsewhere, all arms are welcome.
Well, all arms except mine. That always was the weakest part of my game. Some said I had the worst arm on my high school freshmen team.
