In 2007, Morrissey played for the Angels AA team in Arkansas and finished the season with a .263 batting average, 50 RBIs, and 85 runs scored in 134 games.

Daubert, 28, was drafted in 2000 by the Seattle Mariners in the 15th round. He spent five years playing in the Can-Am league for the Brockton Rox, and in 2006 moved to the American Association to play for the Sioux City Explorers.
