  1. Well, that was certainly unexpected from Stewart.
  2. With that K, he's now tied for 3rd. Movin' on up!
  3. Hey, Mikey: it's totally cool if you want to do something other than K. Thanks.
  4. Ibanez is awful, as I've said about 100 times. I just thought it was funny to refer to Stewart as hot.
  5. Was just coming here to post this. Ian Stewart, a non-roster invitee, is hitting cleanup. Well, okay, then...
  6. So he's kind of like a faster, black version of David Freese. Got it.
  7. Where are you getting your numbers? http://metsmerizedonline.com/2013/02/understanding-the-business-of-baseball-insurance-on-player-contracts.html/ http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20130811/PROFESSIONAL_SERVICES/308119973/a-rods-return-costs-Yankees These articles mention premiums between 4-10%.
  8. I went to high school with a guy named Josh Paul, who also played baseball, primarily as a catcher--but he's not the Josh Paul who played for the Angels. Odd...Or maybe not. But it's probably more interesting than this dude getting called up.
  9. Okaaaay, then. Never heard of him until now. 2nd round pick. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/walljo02.shtml
  10. Prediction: Boesch gets a pinch-hit HR in the 9th to win the game tonight, and Sosh immediately makes him the starter.
  11. Ha...well THAT explains it, then.................. Jeff Fletcher ‏@JeffFletcherOCR 5m Scioscia said Boesch was picked over Long because Boesch has been swinging the bat well the past week. #Angels
  12. ...in 33 ABs. Dude is useless offensively.
  13. So have they actually announced Boesch yet? Haven't seen it. I'm guessing Tim Mead told Chuck that or something?
  14. thanks! Just started skimming it. Looks interesting. Going to read the full thing when I have a chunk of time today.
  15. Long is about to turn 27. Use him or let him go somewhere else. Not sure he's going to "develop" any more.
  16. No. Just no. Why bother? He's JB Shuck redux. Or Colin Cowgill, etc. There is absolutely no reason to pick up someone like him.
  17. The first two responses did answer the issues raised in the initial post, but thanks.
  18. It wasn't the Angels' decision. Until this year, it was an MLB guideline not to show "close" call replays on big boards.
