Tuesday saw the release of Academy Award nominations, with a local favorite very much in the mix.Since the news on the baseball front was limited to Jorge Cantu signing with San Diego and Armando Galarraga being traded to Arizona, even those keenly focused on spring training may have noticed the announcement out of Hollywood.
