I'd like to be the First.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

To welcome former D-Back Mark Reynolds to the HALOS!

You know JD was on the phone to his agent 20 minutes after he was designated.

[bloodbrother]

Last thing the Halos need is another horrendous defensive player. Their D blows bad enough as is and Reynolds is a butcher at 3B

[fan_since79]

lol, his numbers this year are almost exactly the same as Hamilton's. 

 

They could platoon.

[Docwaukee]

for the purpose of granting him his unconditional release

 

will now be changed to

 

for the purpose of granting him an opportunity to sign with the Halos. 

[Homebrewer]

Who do we offer?

Blanton, Hanson, or both?

[bloodbrother]

Reynolds got released from a team who is doing well. Dipoto is looking for guys that the Marlins, Royals and Astros don't want

[Angel Oracle]

Don't you dare, Dipoto!

[tomsred]

Not a good candidate, his swing isn't long enough.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

We are only interested in two kinds of players:

 

1. Players who have played for Colorado or Arizona (extra points for any who played for both).

 

2. Players 32 years of age or older (for multi-year deals).

[SmallSampleSize]

Mark Reynolds??

 

[Jason]

The Halos are like the rich and homeless apparently.

[EDinTUSTIN]

LMAO    Exactly!

And we already have one Butcher, that is more than enough.

[Angel Oracle]

And yet another former D-Back pitcher is available:  Poopy Grande.

Yep, I can see Jerry "the garbage collector" Dipoto being all over him.

[kevinb]

Mark Reynolds??

Best thing I've seen

[Tank]

7/120, and not a dime more.

Best thing I've seen

 

Heh yeah it's probably in the top 10 of my stash to be sure, maybe top 5. 

 

If for no other reason than the sheer randomness of it all.

 

So the little fella is walking towards...someone photographing nature?...or a remote campsite?...or ?!?!?!?!

 

And he is all inquisitive and sniffing and suddenly he decides he wants NO part of something...

 

...and while easily running along that ridge, he further decides...he wants NO part of this world anymore and just bails!

 

I probably watched it 50 times my first time (unless I smoked after a bad Angels loss at the time time, in which case probably a little closer to 340 times) and I just don't get it.

 

Of course the person who added the text to the gif did it perfectly.

 

I hope the little fella lived.

 

Edit:  I told myself I'm going to learn how to edit gif's as I've seen some great ones recently - and I need to redo this one to react to Dipoto trades...as an Angel fan.  Will hopefully report back with progress if I can find the source gif.

That is a Badger. They are pretty bad ass animals, sluethy, and seldom seen. One would not walk up to a human by mistake.

That had to be taken by a game cam..my guess is that his defense reaction was to fresh human scent from whomever set the cam, or a noise from the cam...or probably both. The only thing a Badger is threatened by, and has any fear of in the wild, are humans.

Amazing to see his flight reaction when he spooked!.
