Trash talking in baseball? When does that happen...at the weigh in before the ballgame?
If only there were a good FA LF...
Ah, the ol' Quick Draw McGraw, eh? I think they have medication for that now.
"The Mariners might carry 11 pitchers in order to keep right-handed hitting outfielders Mike Morse and Charlton Jimerson, both of whom are out of options."
Since when did it become news that a team is only carrying 11 pitchers? Man, I miss the '80s.
Seems a weird thing to say about a player who had one good fluke season 5 years ago. His minor league career high in homers is 11. If perfectly healthy he's a backup outfielder at best. And he hasn't played in the majors or minors the last two seasons.
But yeah, it's not like there are any superstar left fielders still looking for a job.
Sure, if by "playing" you mean "embroiled in a bitter conflict with the team's medical staff".
Yeah, I caught up with everything Gerut today.
Seriously, I mean why make the guy change positions if you're not going to use him over Jody freakin Gerut?
Nope, it's 100% about cost control and delaying free agency.
Well, Gerut hit 22, and was a better all around hitter.
Charlie Kerfeld got more ROY votes than Barry Bonds.
Hairston in CF and Gerut on LF, man oh man, that'll give their pitchers some serious heartburn
Bob Hamelin smoked Manny Ramirez. Heck, Angel Berroa won it the Gerut-Teixeira year.
I like the ROY award.
Jody never had his ass kicked before.
I'm gonna take a three-day pass
And really slap a beating on Jody's ass!
Ain't no use in callin' home,
Jodie's got your telephone
Ain't no use in goin' home
Jodie's got your girl and gone.
Aint no use in lookin' back,
Jodie's got your Cadillac!
I'm gonna take a three day pass,
Can't wait to get Jodie in my grasp.
And when I get that three-day pass,
I'm gonna kick old Jodie's ass.
Well, not necessarily. He has to be able/ready to handle LF. And 33 ST ABs is "yes he's ready"?
You doubt Robothal? The man cares about all that is baseball. He sees all and reports all. He never has to sleep, he never has to use the restroom, he just moves ballpark to ballpark reporting all gossip and news.
Emil Brown is so old that the first time I ever heard his name was in a game called by Harry Caray.
I don't get this, Headley has looked fine out there in the field. Maybe he is taking bad routes or something that we are just not seeing, but moving the guy around like they do and then sticking him back in AAA after he has done everything to win a job seems like nothing but cost control. Not about winning a division.
This team is going to need every single win it can garner, even in April. this is nuts
And Mordecai Brown. This is getting confusing. If only one of these Browns had some sort of distinguishing feature...
I do not understand this at all. What the hell is he talking about?
What does it mean to think one is Rollins and Howard? They are complacent? They talk trash? Victorino has a personality disorder?
What does he need to straighten out?
What do the other Phillies need to straighten out?
I have no idea what that paragraph means.
Nope, it was 1997 and Emil was a Pirate. And so was Adrian. I was so confused. And so was Harry.
Might've been this game, matter o' fact.
Emil Brown has quietly amassed a good enough career to be probably the third-best Emil in baseball history, behind Emil "Irish" Meusel and Emil "Dutch" Leonard.
Maybe he should have an inaccurate ethnic nickname too. Emil "Pinoy" Brown sounds pretty good.
It didn't help that they're both African-American center fielders from the midwest, who were chosen in the Rule 5 draft.
I never had too much trouble telling them apart. Adrian is the one who was always hurt, and Emil is the one who always looked confused.
Hey, his nickname was "Dutch" too.
Emil Brown definitely needs to become Pinoy Brown or Bohunkus Brown or Frenchy Brown or something.
Ogallala Brown? Hmong Brown? Azerbaijani Brown?
Or maybe he should just commute to Oakland from Vacaville and be known as Cowtown Emil Brown.
Re: Headley, I'm as confused as most of you guys. I'm not sure how the whole arbitration clock thing works but since he has already came up and played in the majors, isn't that stuff irrelevant?
Why not leave Hairston in left and.......free Callix Crabbe!!
Seriously though, the Padres' whole outfield situation is scary. They might actually have Crabbe getting serious time out there by May if Edmonds and Giles break into pieces. They'll be reminiscing of the glory days of Termell Sledge.
I would love to see him make the team, he seems like a fun player. Not just the name, but the guy is shorter than me (he's listed at 5 foot 7) and can play just about any position on the field. Plus he takes a bunch of walks. He should make the team on entertainment value alone.
If they cut him for somebody like Tony Clark or Gerut, maybe the A's will pick him up. (*edit*: note his top 2 PECOTA comps are Marco Scutaro and Esteban German!)
I do hope he makes the team too.
He seems to love what he does, a true super UT.
He has to pass through waivers, so a team willing to keep him on the roster can pick him up.
Or a team could of course buy his rights or trade for him if they are sure they want him.
I assume that Cosmo Brown met with some sort of mishap and had to be destroyed.
Nah, he went on to a spectacular career in talking pictures.
That's not exactly fair to the Brewers. They were playing quite well without Braun and his awful defense at 3B. I understand your point, but this case doesn't justify it.
you're right.
You had a good home but you left,
you're right.
But Jody was there when you left,
you're right.
Your baby was there when you left,
you're right.
Your baby was lonely as lonely can be,
'til Jody provided company.
Ain't it great to have a pal,
who works so hard to keep up morale.
Your left,
You're right.
You ain't got nothing to worry about,
he'll keep her happy 'til you get out.
And you won't be home 'til the end of the war,
in Nineteen Hundred and Seventy Four.

No. It's accumulated ML service time. According to Cot's he was up for just 13 days last year. Depending on what their goal might be for keeping him down, that just adds 2 weeks. If you see what I mean. Probably not.
I've confused the hell out of everyone. He has 13 days in the majors. If the Padres leave him down for 13 days then bring him up, he'll have 1 full year of service -- that would be dumb from a service time perspective as there's no meaningful difference between 1 year 13 days and 1 year. But there is a big difference between 3 years service time vs. 3 years minus 13 days. Well, sorta as it's not strictly "years" as obviously everybody would leave their rookies down for 1 day or a week or whatever -- the Union's not that dumb.
Their goal could be for him to have 5 months at the end of the year to ensure that he is only a "super 2" at the end of 2010 -- arb eligible but still 4 seasons removed from FA and he would get paid a little less than he would if he had 3 full years service time. To do that, given the 2 weeks he was up last year, they'd have to keep him down for 1.5 months. To avoid super 2, he would need to have (probably, there's no firm cutoff) less than 2 years 4 months -- in which case they'd need to hold him down for 2.5 months this season.
