BRAD HALSEY IS DEAD

According to the New York Daily News, former Yankee pitcher, 33 year old Brad Halsey is dead.

O'Connell Sports, Halsey's agency wrote:

"We are sorry to hear of the passing of longtime client, Brad Halsey. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family during this difficult time."

(NY Daily News) "Halsey, who was selected by the Yankees in the eighth round of the 2002 draft out of the University of Texas, spent one season in pinstripes (2004). He was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks in January of 2005 as part of the deal that brought Randy Johnson to the Big Apple."

The cause of death is not known at this point, but the dude was 33... you gotta be alittle concerned here.

Prayers are with the Halsey family from everyone here at BYB.
