My Daily News todsay sez Brady Clark has changed his mind about retirement and signed on with AAA New Orleans. The reports before were that "teammates suggested" Clark would retire; I guess this is what jocks typically do.

Joining Clark in AAA will be Claudio Vargas, who I would guess quickly vaults to the front of the line for emergency starters. Although "competitor/teammates" in AAA Tony Armas and Ruddy Lugo are both having good success as starters so far. Vargas makes his first start for the Zeffs on Saturday

Also, OF/1B Valentino Pascucci has been signed and assigned to AAA. Pascucci had a cuppa joe with Omar's Xpos in 2004 (Homering off Al Leiter in Leiter's final Met appearance); most recently released by the Phils' AAA team.
