Surprise, Surprise: Jim Toth is a Senator (again!)

Toth Rejoins Senators for 2006 In an unexpected last-minute roster move, the Washington Township Senators 38+ have signed former Senator Jim Toth for the 2006 season. Terms were not announced. Toth, who played with the Delco Astros last year, was looking for an MSBL home and some extra ABs, and the injury to Danny Laudisio provided the need in Washington Township. "Jim is a veteran bat we hope will help fill the void left by Danny's injury," GM Nick Frese said. "And again, we're dealing with a guy who has already worn Senator red, who knows our players, and who is committed to winning baseball. I'm surprised we were lucky enough to be able to grab Jim at this late juncture." The slimmed-down Toth -- 220 lbs. at last weigh-in -- is expected to work out of the #6 or #5 hole for the Nats, and he could see some time at first base defensively, spelling Frank Izzi. "I fell much better about our depth and offense with Jim on the squad," Frese said. "With the added talent in this division, you have to keep on working to stay competitive. And Jim and (recently added hurler) Billy Alvaro will do just that for us." Toth is expected to attend approximately half the Senators games in 2006.image
