    On May 2, 2009 Benitez signed a deal to play with the Long Island Ducks.


    [edit] Newark Bears
    As of May, 2009, Benitez is currently on the Active Roster for the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League.

    Tim Byrdak comes in for the lefty on lefty matchup

    Over/Under 0.5 strikes thrown before he leaves the game?

    Nice win.

    Hunter will want to forget about this game.

    Moehler was solid after a sketchy first.

    Lance's AB from the right side in the 7th was embarrassing. :D

    same here, came back a few days ago, just when the Stros are winning. Left time for 2 weeks and the Stros slumped.

    No kidding, wish his back could have held up better and he could have been spared some of the fluke injuries. He and Vizquel were the best I've seen since Oz.

    We got screwed over big time there, should have been strike 3 and out of the inning at 1-0

    Huge blow to Norris' psyche. He had to be pretty devastated he didn't get that call.

    I'm even more shocked the batter didn't swing. You deserve to strike out if you take that pitch with two strikes.
