jch is way past prospect age
He’s a AAAA player at best

More like a DD player, amirite??
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
A little comparison:
2011 stats
Player A – .277/.344/.387 as a 20 year old catcher at Dayton
Player B – .269/.385/.412 as a 23 year old catcher, mostly at Bakersfield
Player A is your #17 prospect, Player B should have been better than an honorable mention.
Vote Fleury.

Fleury is a way worse defensive catcher
and he is about to have his second grandchild….. so …… are you joking?
by fromcubawithluv on Feb 8, 2012 9:40 AM EST up reply actions
I voted Fleury
but I thought I was voting for the Pittsburgh Penguins goalie.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I like Fleury a lot
But citing a 3 year gap between players one level apart isn’t really helping your argument. Fleury should be a lot more polished, considering he started for a CWS team while Tucker was drafted out of HS.

Fact remains
He’s a perfectly acceptable age for his level and position and yabbo yabbo yabbo I like that OBP.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Feb 8, 2012 12:01 PM EST up reply actions
He is
But he’s probably not getting a shot over Devin at any point here and the organization doesn’t like him as much as they like Tucker.

Not to mention that Bakersfield is a hitter's paradise
If Tucker is #17, Fleury is clearly below that and honorable mention is probably fair.
I voted for Stalin Gerson, though, because he has a funny name.

also, Bakersfield is an offensive haven.

we aren't going to have Dornie to kick around much longer
He’ll be a six-year minor league free agent after this season.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Too bad for him he had more value 2 or 3 years ago.

Stalin, because his name is Stalin.
Though bummed that my boy El’Hajj couldn’t get on this list.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
You ever sing along with "That's not my name"
but replace one of the lines with “They call me Ishmael!”?
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
I have no idea what any of the names are, other than jane.
So I usually just make shit up anyway. Ishmael will probably become my go-to, now, thanks!
In lieu of a Reposter,
Brisbee is talking Reds-Oswalt. Among the many other things, it seems like he’s the kind of free spirit, man, that’ll fit right in with the other gringos in the rotation:
He’ll play only for a contending team that’s close to his Mississippi home that will allow him to keep his beard and long hair should he decide to grow either.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
I'm trying to include that in the Reposter
but this damn site is broken and I can’t write it. Nerts.

Arroyo
Sigh. Walt could easily afford Oswalt if he hadn’t signed Arroyo to that millstone of a contract.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yay! Grant Brisbee is writing about our favorite team!
…Oswalt on the Reds would make so much danged sense. The Reds are in the marginal-upgrade zone right now — that magical, frustrating land of ambiguity where every extra win means a lot more to a team on the fringes of contention than it might mean to, say, the Phillies or Yankees. If a team in the marginal-upgrade zone can make that jump from 89 to 90 wins, it could mean tens of millions in extra playoff revenue. If the difference between Jake Westbrook and Brandon Dickson was even a single win for the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals, Westbook’s $8 million salary paid for itself in World Champions-shirt-wearing teddy-bear sales alone.
But Walt wants him to stop:
“The media has been putting us into it. I’m tired of it,” Jocketty said. “I try to be upfront with you guys. I’ve gotten a lot of calls from people. I’m not saying something couldn’t ever happen, but there’s nothing to lead me to believe we will sign him.”

teh Fay
thinks the rumors are because Oswalt’s people have contacted the Reds, now interested in a previously spurned lowball offer.
But even the lowball offer ($7M?) is too much.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Wow.
I wonder what he knows because I was assuming that RO’s people would be calling to try to drive up the market between STL and TEX but Fay’s scenario is quite the opposite.
It sure seems like there is something peculiar going on. And I guess the bottom dropping out of the market for a solid All Star starter would qualify as peculiar.

OK, I have a question for the Twitterati
Until last night, when I looked at Twitter in my browser the tweets were on the left and the profile and trending stuff was on the right. Suddenly, that has been reversed – the tweets are now on the right hand side! This leads me to the following questions:
1. Have I fallen into an alternate universe? If so, are there any other differences I need to know about? For the record, in my universe, the Union won the US Civil War, the Allies won World War II, and Elvis faked his death to work at a convenience store in Kalamazoo, MI.
2. Is there any way to move the damn tweets back to the left side, as God intended? I find the new layout very annoying.

i remember that. i was pissed.

i love watching tayshaun track people down for a block.
to do it on that stage to a hall of famer just made if even more awesome
Here's a hint - they can't
They don’t play enough D.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Funny things happen in basketball
So, I’d still like to see how they stack up against top competition.
does mizzou still run like they did with anderson?
running & pressing against uk is the surest way to get blown out.
every game is just one alley oop after another.
last night on 4 consecutive plays, UK had their choice of either throwing the lob to jones or davis. neither were covered.
Nope
That was just an Anderson thing. Haith is a much smarter coach. They run a legit offense. Although they run a lot of 4 guard sets- one of their big men is out for the season with an ACL injury.
They're not as bad, but they're still a "we're going to outscore you" type of team
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
he is an awesome awesome player
but his demeanor on the court is even better. even opposing fans don’t seem to hate him. they’re just as in awe as we are. he’s definitely not demarcus
AD got horse collar tackled against LSU and just got up and went to the line
Demarcus would have stabbed someone.
Dayman, Fighter of the Nightman, Champion of the Sun
Not the Demarcus I know, he's a big teddy bear, just a misunderstood fun-loving kid
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
I find it amusing that no one really spouts that line any more, because I heard it for a couple of years

Cisco was out with TJ surgery
Correa got placed on the restricted list or something, with no real reason given at the time. Rumor is he probably lied about his age.

He got a 1 year suspension in July. So that’s why he’s not a prospect right now.
