I bet the Las Vegas bookies had long shot odds for Sydney Australia, it must have been way down under.

Safe to say he's out of ROY consideration this year

Crazy this guy's athleticism/ability to play all over

"Permanent for now" reminded me of my organic chemistry teacher, dr. henderson. when he got stuck in a sticky mathematical situation he used what he called "Henderson's variable constant" to find the solution.

Couple ways to view it. Either you can never have enough pitching so you should target pitchers in trade negotiations, or pitchers are inherently injury risks, so you should target position players. 

Case by case scenario is probably the best approach, but Dipoto seemed to be the absolute worst in identifying minor league pitching talent when he was with the Angels. Seems to have fixed that with Seattle, with Gilbert, Kirby and Woo.

I saw U. L. play at AA (along with Frank White and others) in the 1970s. We had KC's AA farm club in Jacksonville.

El Rojo will always be one of my favorites.  He certainly played the game the right way.  Even if he never did figure out how to hit the ball up the middle or to the opposite field.
