They should have had him slotted as a relief pitcher to begin with. Threw 96 with wonky 3/4-side arm action.

Of course who blows a high second round pick and 800K on a HS relief pitcher?

“some random prospect being converted into a pitcher, or vice-versa”

Very subtle pro-TINSTAAPP trolling. High five.

Sad indeed. I love the playoff pushes and the roster call ups, but I always hate to see the minor league games go. I am fortunate to live 15-20 mins from two minor league clubs, already seen the last of one and will be going to the the last of the other tonight. Beer just won’t taste as good till next spring.

Maybe FC could break down what a HBT Commenter Prom would look like.

High School & College Football start tonight. I am always excited about this. I enjoy both sports. However, I’m going to the final reg season home game of the Wichita Wingnuts and will probably be my last live baseball till next spring. I say probably, The ‘Nutz are in the playoffs, and WSU still has their Fall Series, but I never seem to make it to any of those.

Sad Face.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is real. Although, mine doesn't set in till early Janurary and it lasts till College Baseball opens up in late Feburary.

I think Craig could use some antidepressants, though this isn’t quite the kind of Seasonal Affective Disorder I learned about in school.

Why bother with Mychal Givens when they already have Chris Davis?

Hardballtalk – Where baseball fanatics talk about the approaching end of season like it’s High School Graduation and we’re all 17 and 18 year old girls

End of August. Yikes. Where did the baseball season go? I know. The DL. To Dr. Yokum’s Office. For multiple MRI’s and finally surgeries and advice from Sam Fuld. -sigh- I know the feeling well, Craig. Its that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle area, maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys, maybe even in the colon. We don’t know…
