I hear Brandon Wood is available again, too.

Bourjos has barely played.  Pujols barely played first before he went on the DL.  Aybar missed 30 games.

I think it's also a reflection of the random collection of retreads, has-beens, and never-weres that are run out there on a daily basis.  There are obviously reasons why guys like Nelson, Shuck, Brendan Harris, etc have bounced around or been released by other teams.

Don't worry: Butchy is in the dugout, rubbing and patting Ernie on the legs, givin' him a good ol' pep talk!

Probably also has something to do with the fact that he's had Hamilton or Trumbo hitting after him in most of those games, so pitchers are maybe just deciding not to throw him anything decent.

Do any of us really care about this signing?

Nah.  It's just amusing, really.  Seems to kind of fit the wacky year.

It was nice knowing you, Josh...Any chance he could be one of the new names?

Colon isn't going to be suspended, since he already served one last year. 

There are supposedly three new mystery names on the list...

Former Angels also on that Long Island Ducks team: Bill Hall, PJ Phillips, and Rian Kiniry.

Maybe we can package him in a deal for Miguel Cabrera.

Walked 4.5 per 9 in indy ball.  Impressive.

Ha ha.  Well, why the hell not at this point?

zzzzzzz...Wish either team would do something.

Thank you for waking me up, Kole!

zzzzzzz...Wish either team would do something.

lol @ this pitcher

He's positively Blanton-esque.

Wow.  Close call.  Glad it went our way!

Lonely in here...

Did Shuck really just do that?

And isn't that a HR?  Guess not.

Hamilton leading the league with 22 RBI since July 4--with a slash line of .220/.258/.500.  Ha.

Why the heck in Iannetta  behind the plate. Conger was doing well on both sides of the ball.

Since July 4, Conger is hitting .162/.244/.351.  Small sample size, obviously.  (Iannetta isn't doing much better during that time, though...)

Why are they just now realizing he needs surgery?

Green is going to Salt Lake.  Was hoping they'd call him up and find a place for him.

Surprised Daniel Stange didn't pitch effectively

Yep, I was expectin' a shutdown inning.

I am curious, how well would anyone if he is terrible defensively.  Its not like he is on national tv every night.

Look at his minor league numbers.  And also, there's this:

Didn't he have a "setback" recently?
