1. zonk Posted: March 02, 2012 at 01:46 PM (#4072796)I can probably get rid of his rookie cards now too.
It could be he didn't have a college education, didn't know how to handle his finances, and had difficulty dealing with being so highly touted one moment, and unemployed the next. Its not like his skills easily transferred to the general workplace.
Or maybe he would have hung out with Daryl Strawberry too much. Who knows.
What a snob!
Just trying to keep it between the white lines, officer.
That's one way to define "cocaine traffic."
But it was his texting while making deliveries that really brought down the law.
I thought it was a baseball fight.
I was wandering what that one was as well. So far the best thing I have come up with are mounted rocket launchers.
It is against NC law to have more than two broken-down cars on the front lawn.
If that were the law in say, Alabama, or West Virginia, half the population could be facing charges.
It applies to dwellings, cars, boats, etc. and it is illegal to "maintain" for prohibited purposes (e.g. drug dealing). According to this, felony maintaining was charged in NC 14,000 in 2010 alone. Probably all part of property seizure.
OK, the relevant bit is in Part II (plug in vehicle for dwelling)
The crime of maintaining a dwelling has four elements. To be guilty, a person must:
(1) knowingly
(2) keep or maintain
(3) a store, shop, warehouse, dwelling house, building, vehicle, boat, aircraft, or other place
(4) (a) being resorted to by persons unlawfully using controlled substances or
(b) being used for unlawfully keeping or selling controlled substances.
In (2), they have to prove you "maintained" it (own, make payments on, etc). In 4(b), the term “keeping” “denotes not just possession, but possession that occurs over a duration of time.”
Awww. You're no fun. I was trying to work my way up to a church tank cameo there...
Except that most of the people I know here in central 'Bama could probably get off on a technicality: Pickups ain't cars.
this may be true, but I see this everywhere, big cities (northern ones too), small towns, etc.
He might very well have. The shoulder injury was originally suffered as a result of a confrontation following a bar fight between Taylor's brother and another man. The story handed out at the time was that Taylor was an innocent bystander who was hurt defending his brother, but the reality is that Taylor and his brother went to the man's home after the original fight and confronted him there.
-- MWE
I was thinking Arthur Weasley with this flying Ford Anglia.
it was actually he and his cousin who went to the other mans trailer, but your point remains--he wasn't an innocent bystander. After the injury he tried to come back and pitch. His 1996 line for Greensboro has to be among the worst I've ever seen:
9G
0-5 WL
16.1 IP
43BB(!!!!)
11Ks
WHIP of 3.918
EDIT: and 17 WP
He was changing the $hit out of that oil!
"Take the money and run!" is about right.
Steinbrenner should never have caved in to what amounts to racist blackmail. Besides, Taylor had had serious issues in high school aside from just poor grades. It was like a walking warning flag.
In many cases of a down-trodden athlete, sympathy will flow, but not here.
I hate Scott Boras mainly from the way he handled this.
A five tool player.....
Taylor may win on Peak Value, but he's got nothing on Bill Bene (who himself was a #5 overall pick in the draft) for Career Value.
What about the three counts of Heresy... Heresy by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed, and heresy by action... four counts...
3 seasons, 1-4 17.22 (51 g, 8 gs) 42.1 ip, 40 h, 128 bb, 48 so, 59 wp (whip 3.969). ERAs by season: 11.12, 20.77, 31.05. He was so bad, he broke PECOTA after his second year - then got worse.
(He was considered a first round talent in HS but signability issues led to his playing college ball. Control completely abandoned him in college, was still a third round pick (500k bonus) despite a 7.13 ERA as he threw in the mid to upper 90s with an outstanding curve (AJ Hinch said he had two 80 pitches).
^ Taylor's last three years were with Greensboro... if you don't count a 2.2 inning comeback attempt with Columbus in 2000.
Yeah, Ol' George was quite the milquetoast.
Militello got a rookie card with:

another failure in Roger Salkeld
Pat Mahomes
Turk Wendell
Taylor got his own:

I have a couple of both of these somewhere, which does me little good..
Wow, I haven't exactly followed Taylor's career closely, but I've been aware of him since he got drafted. I could have sworn he was white...to the point where I have a photo of a white dude in my mind when I think of him. I wonder who that guy is?
That's Bobby Taylor, I went to college with him.
