May 23, 201312 yr placed on waiver...what a legacy he left here https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/337658604561784832
May 23, 201312 yr I'll remember when he I can't think of anything so I spoilered it to make you highlight it. What a let down, huh?
May 23, 201312 yr So are Casper Wells and Tyler Green now fighting to the death for the last roster spot?

May 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 23, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) So are Casper Wells and Tyler Green now fighting to the death for the last roster spot? Every time I see Casper Wells I go, "That guy's on our team?" And I know he's on our team, it's just that I don't care so powerfully that I forget to not be surprised.
May 23, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2013 -> 09:57 PM) I remember when he was a rule V pick, and I went "who"? I remember when he entered a game against the Nationals and I went "who"?
May 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 23, 2013 -> 09:54 PM) Every time I see Casper Wells I go, "That guy's on our team?" And I know he's on our team, it's just that I don't care so powerfully that I forget to not be surprised. I have the same reaction. One of the most forgettable Sox players ever, and that's saying something in a thread about Angel Sanchez. I at least always remembered Sanchez was on the roster. Wells did have that cool catch the other night, so he is making an effort to make himself remotely memorable.
May 23, 201312 yr He never reminded me of Norberto Martin or D'Angelo Jimenez (still playing for Newark Bears allegedly) or Tony Graffanino.
May 23, 201312 yr I still prefer him to Tyler Greene. I'm guessing this means we're keeping Casper and making Kep/Gillaspie our one infield reserve.

May 23, 201312 yr I was hoping Beckham would be in uniform for Sunday's game when I am in attendance. Maybe he will and Greene goes out.

What about Grebeck, Pablo Ozuna or Eduardo Escobar? Still think of him as Gaffe-anino because of errors he made for the Sox against the Cubs and a big one in the 2005 Division series.

May 24, 201312 yr One thing that this thread makes me think about is how the local Seattle beat writers had that national hissy fit over the Mariners waiving Casper the friendly ghost and going with the ghost of Jason Bay instead. Anyone who thinks it's a good idea to tear everything down Cubbie/Mariner style should remember that. As annoying as non-winning seasons are, imagine what it would be like if things were so bad here that such an event became one of the biggest baseball stories of the young season, and just imagine what it would be like to be so infuriated at the thought of losing such a s***ty baseball player. That's Mariners baseball and I hope that never happens here again.

May 24, 201312 yr My biggest regret is not referring to one of his plays as a "Dirty Sanchez" before he was gone.

May 24, 201312 yr Pretty sure he's not actually gone yet - but he is on waivers. If he's not claimed, he can be offered back to LAA for some cash. If they say no, the Sox can release him, or they can send him to AAA.
May 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 24, 2013 -> 08:17 AM) Vegemite. f***ing Australians Everything about Australia is great save for that. People always talk about all the posionous snakes & spiders, the jellyfish, the rays, the man-eating salties, etc. but the one thing that will kill you faster than any of that is a teaspoonful of vegemite on a cracker.
