Germanic language named relievers for $500, Alex
2007-07-17 13:38
by Bob Timmermann

The Chicago White Sox recalled reliever Ehren Wassermann (full name Ehren Josef Wassermann) from Charlotte and demoted Neil Masset.

Wassermann is from Alabama and was signed by the White Sox at an open tryout in 2003.

Also, the Florida Marlins have recalled Dutch pitcher Rick Vanden Hurk and designated the delightfully named Wes Obermueller for assignment. Obermueller never faced Bill Mueller in a major league game in a battle of guys who have names that should be pronounced similarly, but aren't.

Yes, I do know that Dutch and German aren't the same. Please reread the headline.

I'd imagine Wagner and Hoffman are both Germanic. They're pretty good relievers. The late Rod Beck certainly had a Germanic name.

Die Auswahl ist gross.
