What a great pick.

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

Wouldn't be surprised if he just retires

and perhaps goes pro in poker.

Trade for Billy Butler!

why would he retire when he gets paid to do nothing?

Minor league baseball players get paid very little money and he's makes a lot of money playing poker.

He’s won at least one big tournament.

Tools Whore

Sign Bonds!

Wow. That's unfortunate.

Was he Lamar's last stand?

It sounded like a cost issue. If what’s been leaked out through the years is true, Stu’s people weren’t confident enough on McCutchen to spend the money on him, and Naimoli’s people weren’t confident enough in Carillo to spend the money on him, so they compromised and drafted the guy they knew would sign for way under slot that both of them liked enough.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

Stu was in-charge for this?

by walkoffwalk on Nov 17, 2008 1:06 PM EST up reply actions

It was during the transition period. Stu owned the team, but Namoli hadn't relinquished control.

Thank god the days of us making picks/trades just because of money are gone.

With all the arm injuries, he couldn't windmill anyways :(

Sign lady must die.

by EminenceFront on Nov 17, 2008 9:53 AM EST up reply actions

didn't he fall all the way to Hudson Valley at one point?

Or am I thinking of Gibson?

by joeybw on Nov 17, 2008 9:58 AM EST up reply actions

I don't remember.

Too many pitchers with too many injuries.

Sign lady must die.

dewon brazzleton says hello

by walkoffwalk on Nov 17, 2008 3:56 PM EST up reply actions

:( on that one too

still better than Townsend though! He actually reached the majors, Townsend can’t reach AAA and he um…..once had a no hitter( was it a perfect game?) into the 8th!

I think he used whatever ability he had in that game, he was never productive again.
