That's shocking.

That's shocking.

 

We know this because of a certain Spring Fanfest event some 4 years ago.

.......ok, who here did geltz give a handy to for 50 bucks? At least a hint chuck!

He'll be ok. That stuff is so much easier to get when you work at the car wash.

I wonder what kind of drug(s) he's on.

One of abuse.

Sounds intriguing.

It's an unfortunate circumstance.  Geltz isn't a bad kid, just made mistakes before and was fairly/unfairly labeled.  This newest one however, is harder to explain mostly because I don't know what's going on, but it certainly doesn't sound good.  I'll reserve judgement.  In terms of trade value, RP have a life span of 3 years or less in most cases anyway, so it really doesn't matter that we traded a 25 year old for a 30 year old.  Both I feel will have experienced their share of big league success before it's all done.  

 

I just hope DDLR's arm isn't toast after last year's workload and Geltz gets things together.

Geltz is getting his things together for a trip home.
