Jennings slated to adorn Baseball America cover

Lead-footed former Biscuits outfielder Desmond Jennings will be on the cover of next week's Baseball America, which is the magazine's 2010 minor-league preview.

Corcoran makes news with Dodgers

Former Biscuits pitcher Tim Corcoran made an impression in camp with the Dodgers on Monday. Three impressions, to be exact.

Corcoran threw live batting practice to rehabbing catcher Russell Martin. Corcoran brushed him back once and hit him twice before the session came to an end. They weren't on purpose, by the way.

Former Biscuits pitchers Chris Mason and Jim Magrane are playing in Taiwan this year.

Magrane is the Opening Day starter for the Brother Elephants and Mason is playing for the La New Bears.

Dukes released by Nationals

The Washington Nationals announced today that they've released outfielder Elijah Dukes. MLBtraderumors.com called it "strange." The Nats said it was for baseball reasons. That's an attempt to rule out speculation of non-baseball reasons.
