Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

NFL Conference Championship Games

Anton Chigurh: What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss.
Gas Station Proprietor: Sir?
Anton Chigurh: The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.
Gas Station Proprietor: I don't know. I couldn't say.
[Chigurh flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]
Anton Chigurh: Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Call it?
Anton Chigurh: Yes.
Gas Station Proprietor: For what?
Anton Chigurh: Just call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here.
Anton Chigurh: You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.
Gas Station Proprietor: I didn't put nothin' up.
Anton Chigurh: Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life you just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin?
Gas Station Proprietor: No.
Anton Chigurh: 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Look, I need to know what I stand to win.
Anton Chigurh: Everything.
Gas Station Proprietor: How's that?
Anton Chigurh: You stand to win everything. Call it.
Gas Station Proprietor: Alright. Heads then.
[Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]
Anton Chigurh: Well done.
[the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he's apparently won while Chigurh starts out]
Anton Chigurh: Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.
Gas Station Proprietor: Where do you want me to put it?
Anton Chigurh: Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 22, 2012 6:52 PM EST up reply actions  

What's to be worried about?

If he signs, it’ll be close to league minimum, and even Dusty won’t view him as a starter. It’ll give us the much needed depth at shortstop, and he’ll probably give us .5 to 1 win production, which is fine for a backup SS

he's a former WS MVP

from the Cardinals.

The joke got old after Springer, Edmonds, and Isringhausen.

It’s like Walt keeps telling the same knock knock joke to us and expects us to still think it’s funny.

Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 22, 2012 6:38 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, I guess

The only questionable signing you listed up there is Edmonds, but that’s only because he was injured at the time (he was hitting really well for Milwaukee.) The other two were relievers he took fliers on for the league minimum that didn’t work out. Teams do that 100 times a season, and Walt took a chance on guys he had before that had a lot of success with him. Before Ludwick, Walt hardly spent a large chunk of the budget on ex-Cards (not counting Rolen, but he’s worked out ok for us.)

The secret, is to hit the computer with a hammer

by DerekH91 on Jan 22, 2012 6:47 PM EST up reply actions  

Rolen's worked out okay?

I dunno. He was spectacular the first half of 2010, but otherwise he’s been injured or not so good. And he’s been paid about $15 mil or so over that period.

Yeah, I guess I’d call it okay.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 22, 2012 7:03 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, I wasn't saying he's been great

But without him, we don’t make the playoffs in 2010.

by DerekH91 on Jan 22, 2012 7:05 PM EST up reply actions  

I think that's true

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jan 22, 2012 7:29 PM EST up reply actions  

It's OK.

Thankfully, none of the other pieces in the trade have panned out like they could have either.

Rolen’s surely had a positive influence on the clubhouse, too, and I can’t really think of a FA 3B we could have picked up over the last 2 years who would’ve had a bigger impact.

Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 22, 2012 7:05 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah, D's comment struck me at first

but then I thought about it and checked the numbers, and yeah, I guess I’d say it’s okay. He really needs to play 120+ games this season though. Last year negated all goodwill he earned for his 2010.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 22, 2012 7:09 PM EST up reply actions  

totally agree.

Although I guess I’d say that the trade was purely for the first year, right? It’s the extension (and subsequent deferred money) that will define last year and this year, no?

Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 22, 2012 7:11 PM EST up reply actions  

When they got him

he had a year left on his contract at $12 mil or so. The extension made that one year, $12 mil into a three year, $18 mil deal. Or something like that.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jan 22, 2012 7:14 PM EST up reply actions  

that's what I thought.

So in essence, this year is the make/break for the trade. When they struck that deal for/with Rolen, they realistically had to tell themselves that if they have him produce for 2/3 of the time, the deal’s worth it.

Tequila and pancakes, anyone?

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Jan 22, 2012 7:18 PM EST up reply actions  

If he can be around a 3-win player this year, I think we'll all be pretty pleased.

Adding the production from Roar and Frazier, that should be in the top half for 3B.

Even last year, he was a 1.5 win player, and that was in 63 games. I think it’s pretty reasonable, considering he’s still a plus fielder

by DerekH91 on Jan 22, 2012 7:25 PM EST up reply actions  

Is RL going to be that low at 3B again?

I don’t think Rolen starts more than 100 games and I don’t think he can hit like he did in 2010.

He'll have pretty much a full season worth of rest going in to spring training, and there's no way he walks only 3% of the time again

He’ll never have a .212 ISO again, you’re right, but I still think 3 wins is probably about right.

Arrelious Benn tweeted “we got Chip Kelly…”; and you KNOW that Twitter has never been wrong.

So says the almighty Wiki.

I looked him up, because I forgot what college he attended. I found this:
