MurcieOne Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Here is my Wonder Years moment --- cue dramatic music My dad doesn't know many baseball players... but he knows Don Slaught. I must have been pretty young, because we were watching a game where Slaught was catching for the Pirates, and he t took a foul tip directly off of his wiener. My dad started to bawl laughing, and on that day I realized that watching a man suffer an injury to his groin was absolutely the funniest thing possible.

StatManDu Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh yeah. And... Don Wakamatsu. Grama was fleet in her prime. Anyway ... this name just came to my head ... CHRIS STEWART. He was a strong-armed catcher the Sox drafted in 2001 and brought the system and he made it to the bigs for a sip of the java in 2006. Unfortunately, the Sox dealt him to Texas in a minor league deal because they brought on Toby Hall. When Hall got injured, the Sox were left with Gustavo Molina. When Hall healed the Sox were left with ... well Toby Hall. This Stewart, whose minor league numbers are competent, is with the Yankee system. Maybe he could be brought back for a look-see.

Kalapse Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Miguel Olivo re-signed with the Royals today. It's a 1 year, $2.7M deal and includes a team option for 2010. He'll act as the team's primary catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Oct 21, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) Here's a real slugger we could use as a backup! You'd like Gustavo even more when you see what he does for a warm up swing. He steps out of the box, hocks a loogie, and swats it with his bat.

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Rangers don't want Laird anymore. Great arm, decent bat, why not. He'd just have to be the back-up. Edited November 4, 2008 by Buehrle>Wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
