CHRIS WHITE has been promoted by the Detroit Tigers from Oneonta of the short-season New York-Pennsylvania League to the West Michigan WhiteCaps of the A-ball Midwest League.
White's last game for Oneonta was Saturday. The promotion comes at an ironic time for the speedy outfielder from Sacramento City College. He had gone 0-for-9 over his past four games and saw his batting average skid to .230. On the other hand none of the Whitecaps outfielders is batting higher than .256. This could be the jumpstart White has been looking for.
West Michigan is in the same league as the Burlington Bees where DANNY DUFFY pitches for the Kansas City Royals. White and Duffy will not meet however, as the season's series between the two clubs is finished.

The team has traveled this year to the Colorado Fireworks Invitational Tournament which was a showcase for the girls. College coaches from across the country came out to look at some of the young ladies. Las Vegas was another exposure tournament as well as a camp for the girls to perform for and with college coaches. Other tournaments were all over the Southern Cal area, Lancaster, Santa Fe Springs, Ventura, Orange County Bat Busters tournaments as well as a Santa Maria tournament at the beginning of the year where as a group they won their first tournament.
