  1. But has Zach been good this year? I am led to believe that is a consideration in the process...
  2. Clipboard: a universal symbol of authority. That and an enormous keyring, um to lock the game down. Not bad as nicknames go, if you be proposing... I sure hope he lives up to it.
  3. Concur. (well, i am in a high parking area, so sometimes ya can't back in without some one will sneak in behind ya, but indeed my favorite spot is one that is such that it is really only possible to back into, and surprise, more often than not, its free)
  4. I for one welcome healthy competition. Maybe it will help us to deal with those pesky east coast teams...
  5. I say we put them on the field next season and find out! It might give us something to talk about...
  6. Unless he accidentally kicked it on his way to first? Unlikely i grant, but he does run pretty fast.
  7. I am just glad it is a 60 day list, as opposed to a 60 game list, so he can start the season running on all cylinders... if he is healthy by then. Not that i expect him to have cylinders... I am pretty sure MLB has rules about robotic augmentation.
  8. I think the funniest thing about this response is it follows a post by someone with the username Monkeypaws... Isn't there a short story about a monkey paw that grants wishes? For me it is drowned in the depth of camping stories, many of which were borrowed from the Red Sox fan, Stephen King.
  9. I am more forgiving of misjudged long fly balls by announcers after yesterday. I was close enough to the field last night i was bad at judging how deep fly balls were. And will folk forgive me for secretly hoping it made it to extras juat to see Buxton bat? No? I thought not...
  10. I am sorry i don't get round to reading these summaries as often as i'd like these days. Sure do appreciate 'em though. Been curious about Jake Hirabayashi. First i heard of him was when he came in for Nick Gordon when he was injured, in AAA. Next i saw his name in one of the Rookie leagues? And now he's at Cedar Rapids? I have been too lazy to follow up on him.
  11. I was wondering how the recent slew of DFAs worked with regards to trades. One loosely assumes they aren't the most valuable of assets, but they have 10 days to trade them or clear waivers or outright them if memory serves? Waivers take 3 days as well? It shows your hand, but if >1 team were interested, it could precipitate a mini-deadline for a deal involving them ahead of the main deadline. Probably not useful, but i do like to make things more complicated than they should be...
  12. I know i am caught in game thread levity mode when i read the title of this article and think "first half awards? We are pretty clever if no one has given out half an award before. Go us!" I am still waiting for Arraez to pass the 100 at bat threshold and for announcers to go on how he has a better carreer average than Ty Cobb.
  13. I'd be worried about leaving it in too long. And who would we send down to make a roster spot?
  14. Ah, but i will (um... my will?) Er... i feel i should offer some baseball insight as well, seeing as this is not a game thread. I think i am patiently waiting, but my patience is inordinantly expanded by doing other things while i wait. * Thanks! I needed that. Is it still wont if it is plural? Like satisfying all one's wonts, once and for all?
  15. Biting one's tongue hurts. Please be careful! And i'm glad you all are successfully reining the reigning in in a bit. And thanks generally thanks for these updates! I ain't following anything as close as is my want these days.
  16. Yeah, last thing we need is some statistician bringing up "Wins Above Replacement" here! Erste? Vielleicht Eins?
  17. Oh... The head line about him being free just meant he is available. Not that he will sign for $0. Carry on. Don't mind me. I am interested to hear what we give up by signing him... Which draft pick was it? Money attached? And who gets designated for assignment? If that is more than we get out of him, i expect i won't find out the answers...
  18. True. Unlikely, but not impossible. While i shall try not to let said hope distort my perspective, i still will hope all the more for it. Here's to Berrios throwing 81 straight strikes!
