Aubrey Huff, Rick Kranitz, Cubs Uni Numbers

I’ve got a Friday quickie for you:

  • Roch Kubatko confirms that Aubrey Huff has switched from #19 to #17 to honor former Tampa Bay teammate Joe Kennedy, who passed away on November 23 due to heart disease. Joe had worn #17 with the then-Devil Rays in 2002 and 2003.
  • New pitching coach Rick Kranitz is sporting #39, last worn by reliever Jim Hoey. Hoey is listed on the roster as #27, which should be free now that Jaret Wright is out to pasture.
  • Finally, I wanted to pass along a link to reader Kasey Ignarski’s website, which has year-by-year rosters for the Chicago Cubs dating back to 1932(!) as well as an all-time roster. Kasey’s actually gotten some help from the Cubs in completing his research, which is very cool.
