Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Diamondbacks - DLed Mulholland
Arizona Diamondbacks - Placed P Terry Mulholland on the 15-day disabled list; purchased the contract of P Casey Daigle.
Mulholland isn’t any different than a million of mop-up guys that, well, stink, but he always has that side effect that when you see his name, you might think of Mulholland Drive and hot lesbians. You don’t suggest that I open my eyes and watch him pitch, do you?
Casey Daigle’s main job this season will be driving back and forth from I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson when the pitchers the Diamondbacks would prefer to have are unavailable for various reasons. In all fairness, Daigle pitched very well in the minors after being converted to full-time relief but it’s hard to shake the 2004 memory of him being yet another player a team gave a job to because of a good spring and then completely and unsurprisingly fall on his face. Anyone else remember Abraham Nunez, Super Slugger or Scott Pose, Electric Leadoff Man?

1. Robert S. Posted: April 13, 2006 at 04:39 AM (#1959670)(Arizona tried to weasel out of giving the Marlins Nunez as a PTBNL after the deal, IIRC... there was some to-do of some nature)
Of course, Nunez got Age-Gated by 3 years and then flopped.
My mistake.
Notice the Scott Pose mention, too!
That is all.
Or another one; he looks a lot better clean shaven.
But Jennifer Connoly is still mad hot.
That is all that matters.
I think you're probably confusing Mulholland Dr. with Mulholland Falls. Of course, there's really nowhere that the quoted statement *isn't* applicable. I would have no objection if it were posted in every thread.
Careful, Randall and Admiral Ackbar might hear you.
You would've known it, had you read my D-Backs preview.
When was the last time he went on the DL? I don't remember him spending that much time on the shelf as a Twin, so I thought he was pretty healthy for an old guy.
Oh yes, he had this 2005 owie which apparently required no DL time:
When Jose Mesa and Jose Lima and Felix Heredia are roaming the camps and tryout mounds, it's a little early to slag him as a bottom-of-the-barrel mop-up guy. 2 runs allowed in 6 innings is too early to label him a disaster. As long as he is not put out there to start, I think he'll be acceptable.
May the gray goatee make a comeback.
The official shorthand for him is "Scottie Po".
Daigle is one of those rare pitchers who has a wife who is a more famous pitcher.
Speaking of which, there's this article, in which I found this amusing line:
I'm sure Repoz or someone can come up with an appropriate tag line.
The baby, BTW, is due in late April.
-- MWE
Which, now that I think about it, can also be said about his face.
See I think of Mulholland Drive and the guy behind the restaurant next to the dumpster, which is less good.
I'll always like him for the time he spent here in Atlanta. He seemed like a class guy - I never saw any indication that he complained about being bounced from the rotation to the bullpen and back. I think he just loves to play, and would go out there every day if he could.
And he almost could, back then. Rubber arm.
And he almost could, back then. Rubber arm."
And in fact, when Mulholland took the loss in the famous/infamous June 30, 2000 game where the Braves blew an 8-1 eighth inning lead, he was displaying that rubber arm.
We all know he gave up the game-winning homerun to Piazza. But two days before, he had thrown 8 1/3 innings and over 110 pitches in a 7-4 win over the Expos.
Terry was only pitching in the Mets' game out of desperation.
