There were two names - Charlie O'Brien
Charles Hugh O'Brien and Tim Unroe Timothy Brian Unroe (born October 7, 1970, in Round Lake Beach, Illinois) was a Major League Baseball first baseman. He is an alumnus of Lewis University. Drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 28th round of the 1992 MLB amateur draft, Unroe would make his Major League . With Tim Salmon Saturday the Angels did something about it, sending reliever Mike Holtz to Triple-A Edmonton and calling up infielder Dave Silvestri. Silvestri, who can play second, third and shortstop, was hitting .439 (29 for 66) with one homer, seven doubles and 12 RBI RBI abbr. Baseball runs batted in Noun 1. rbi - a run that is the result of the batter's performance; "he had more than 100 rbi last season" run batted in in 16 games for Edmonton. He began the season playing for Durham, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' Triple-A club, before being released. Holtz was 1-1 with a 1.42 ERA, but simply had not been getting enough work lately since the club was carrying 12 pitchers. He had pitched twice in the past 10 games. ``I was surprised a little bit,'' Holtz said of his demotion de·mote tr.v. de·mot·ed, de·mot·ing, de·motes To reduce in grade, rank, or status.

Collins said Silvestri, 31, will start today's game, but he didn't say at which position. Mo's fans: The Boston Herald got a little loose with the truth in its gossip column Friday. The column said that 25 strippers from ``The Foxy Lady,'' a club Mo Vaughn visited while he played in Boston, would be sitting behind the Angels dugout for Friday's game. There were a few women behind the dugout who held signs like the one that said: ``Mo, We Miss You. The Foxy Lady.'' But the column also indicated Vaughn would leave after Friday's game with the women to go to a club called ``The Rack.'' Vaughn left Fenway Park on Friday with family members. By the numbers: Five weeks into the season and only one Angels starting pitcher - Omar Olivares (3-3) - has more than one victory. ANGELS vs. BOSTON Time: 10:05 a.m., at Fenway Park.
