2004 PRESSBOX

• 2/24/4: Looks to impress this spring - "When Royce Ring signed his first contract with the Chicago White Sox in 2002, it included a clause requiring the team to invite him to its major league spring training camp this season. That clause was invalidated when Ring and two other minors leaguers were traded to the Mets last July for second baseman Roberto Alomar. "I kind of wondered what would happen," said Ring, a 23-year-old left-handed relief pitcher. "They were under no obligation."
