I had already clicked Like on it - no misunderstanding on that count. I can't recall anyone ever earning one single infraction point for something said in a game thread. It would be possible, if someone failed to understand the spirit here and decided to repeatedly be obnoxious.
This is Gibson's age-26 season. Give him slack for the surgeries, but still, they're not exactly pushing the calendar to give him his chance (again) with the big club.
Zero tolerance on what is stated in the Comment Policy about these game threads, I suppose. Not Okay: hurtful posts, blatant rule violations, or being a grouch. Said with a smile, obvii.
Dick'n'Bert debating whether the Mets catcher blocked the plate too much according to the new rules. Guess Teagarden didn't lift his pinkie finger, like at a tea party, or tip his helmet to the runner, thus showing his lack of couth.
Without going through the work of looking at the teams lacking a player higher on the list, I would guess that most have part-timers or near-ready prospects they like as well as or better than acquiring our guy. I wouldn't see anyone offering much for Plouffe, a fringe prospect at most.
Bad form to put in a guy who is on waivers. What if he gets injured right when another team is claiming him... Not sure it's even allowed, actually. He's DFA, so technically I'm not sure if he's in major league camp anymore or what.
