Two new players have flown into Vancouver, and were in uniform for game time last night.  The one player, is a 2008 returnee.  He started the year with the C’s, got promoted to Kane County, hit .333 and then got injured on July 14th.  He’s back now, in Vancouver, and is a catcher named Juan Nunez.  He should split time with Julio Rivera behind the dish, but I don’t know if he’s (Nunez) still injured or not.

An update on Dante Love, per the Canadians, is that he’s out day-to-day.  He isn’t probable to return for this series.

INF Dusty Coleman, a 28th round pick out of Wichita State who signed for 675k a few weeks ago has finally joined the Canadians.  Coleman was rumoured to be heading north when he first signed, according to his agent, but batted just above the mendoza line in Arizona and has found himself wearing the Red and White colours of the C’s.  He was the team’s first-base coach last night for the first few innings.

Coleman is primarily a shortstop, but with Jason Christian eating up most of the time at the 6 hole, he might find himself DH’ing and Pinch-Hitting for the first little while.

Coleman was a teammate of 2007 Canadian Travis Banwart, and was drafted by Oakland, as a sophomore.

None-the-less both of the newcomers will be welcomed additions to the C’s as they make their push to the playoffs.  With both OF’s JD Pruitt and Mitch LeVier completely healthy, once Dante Love is back the whole roster will be active.
