Here's what is happening around baseball on Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010: o. Bryan Bullington, the top overall pick in the 2002 MLB Draft, has been released by the Royals so he can sign with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Bullington was designated for assignment last week.
The 30-year-old right-hander has to rank among the biggest busts in draft history. Eight years after being taken first overall by the Pirates, Bullington has appeared in just 26 major league games (half of them for the Royals this season) while posting a 1-9 record and 5.62 ERA. His only career victory came Aug. 15, when he threw eight shutout innings against the Yankees in Kansas City.
o. Perhaps paving the way for his next career, Bud Selig has been named an adjunct faculty member at the Marquette University Law School, where he will serve as a distinguished lecturer in sports law and policy. Selig has given lectures at the school since last year.
"Bud Selig is, without question, one of the most skilled and accomplished professionals in the sports industry today," Joseph D. Kearney, dean of Marquette Law School, said in a statement. "We are truly honored that he would commit his time to our students and grateful that he's chosen our classrooms as a place to pass down his significant wisdom to the next generation of leaders."
