Oh, oh. Can I throw in the fact that in the past month or two I've revived my Twitter stream?. Go there for additional views on Baseball, life and useless crap.

I assume Salty is diagnosed as recovered from Mackey Sasser Syndrome?

This seems like a bit of a Hail Mary.

This seems like a bit of a Hail Mary

Better offense than Kevin Cash, for sure.

This seems like a bit of a Hail Mary.

Ankiel's a hitter now. He's put all of that behind him.

Ooh, I like Tim Collins. 5'7'', throws 94, strikes out 15 men per 9. Getting him for Farnsworth and Ankiel feels like finding a Van Gogh in the neighborhood yard sale.

you have to give up players for Salty? Multiple players?

I don't understand why you'd format a Twitter stream like this. Earlier in the year, I bookmarked it and checked it often, but there were always problems with timely updating, and the format doesn't allow for clickable links in the tweets displayed. Why not publish a "BBTF News List" on Twitter itself? Just curious.

Tim Collins is an interesting story - he's from Worcester, which is JP Ricciardi's offseason hometown. Ricciardi went to a game to scout one of Collins' teammate and was so taken with the little guy that he drafted him.
