Worsley is enrolled in classes this semester and will leave SIU in January to work in both New York and Europe. While the Salukis lose one of their top bats in Worsley, they hope to bolster their starting rotation with the addition of right-hander Jason Westemeir. With the loss of our four top senior pitchers, we figure Jason will fit nicely into our rotation and be a guy that can eat up some innings. Westemeir, a former 1997 draft pick by the Atlanta Braves, joins 15 newcomers to the 2000 baseball roster. Baseball signs three more players for next year.
