So if he has a shitty spring and gets released then goes on to another team and has success it will be Eppler’s fault again.  

Pay attention.

Of course it will!

Or a player can be bad for a month and be good later.  So there are times where blame isn’t to be placed, however in society we would rather blame than understand a decision.  

you ain't from round here is you boy.

Yes. I see where this is going. We traded for a current Pirate who happens to have been born in the same month in the same city as a former Pirate who is now a free agent. In other words, we traded for Markel so we wouldn't have to sign Cole.

It's a version of the Two Kisons = One Ryan equation.

Eppler's proven time and time again he's good at these trades.

At least his sister is hot

Welcome, Parker Markel!   Say hello to Frank and Fanny Farkel and their good friend and trusty neighbor, Ferd Berfel.

Don’t forget Sparkle Farkel and the Twins, Simon and Gar Farkel. That’s a fine looking family you’ve got there Frank!

Parker Merkel sounds like someone trying to carry on a conversation with a month full of marshmallows.

This? THIS is your cue?

You, sir, have a high threshold.

Of course, his other sister is...not...

I bet his spin rate is off the charts.

Whoever is playing short stop behind him is never seeing the big leagues.

His slider / fastball combo share a nice release point / plane. Hard to tell if he's throwing multiple types of slider there or if his is just really inconsistent. He threw maybe three good looking sliders, while the rest had that beach ball look to them, floating up in the zone, that probably resulted in more than a few homeruns last season.
