Ugueth Urbina is out of prison and wants a job
http://www.redszone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55956
^ I'd top this thread but it was from back when the ORG folk could post in the Sun Deck. According to the Associated Press, Ugueth Urbina is hoping to return to major league baseball. Urbina, 38, was released from prison Sunday after serving roughly half of his 14-year sentence for attempted murder. He's expected to pitch in Venezuela this winter, but remains doubtful to make a comeback. Urbina hasn't appeared in majors since 2005. He owns a career 3.45 ERA over 11 seasons.

I hear there's several teams in the California Penal League looking for a closer.

Bobby Abreu says that despite what he did, he is a stand up guy.
Bobby Abreu should have really thought that through before he said it out loud.

Re: Ugueth Urbina is out of prison and wants a job
Maybe a new position of "brawler" can be created. Mayhem breaks out and Urbina joins the melee with a nasty look in his eye and hidden weapons. He could get tips from Juan Marichal.

I remember having him on a fantasy team. I haven't had a fantasy team in over 10 years.

He and Simon could sit in the pen all season and argue about which one is the more maniacal homicidal maniac.
