Sausage!

Per Rotoworld:

Rangers signed 1B Randall Simon to a minor league contract.

Simon will report to rookie-level Arizona, which is an odd place for a 31-year-old veteran. The Rangers may call him up when rosters expand next month.

 

Say what you want about Randall Simon, but I will always have fond memories of the guy for his contributions in '03 -- including the 2-run homer that helped give the Cubs a 4-3 lead in the 8th inning of Game 3 of the NLCS.

I cooked some sausages up for myself and one of my roommates the day after that home run.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

One of my buddies played with Randall many, many years ago and said he's his favorite teammate ever.

I loved that guy in 2003!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Good for him. He was a great contributer for us in 03. I was always kinda surprised some team didn't take a chance on him. I'd take him over Mabry at this point.

Free swinging Randall Simon.

Randall, with a career avg. of .283 never had trouble actually hitting. He just didn't walk and didn't have enough pop to be a 1B. Personally, I think he'd be a valuable PH.

Randall Simon......now that's a Dusty Baker player if there ever was one. But boy his enthusiasm (sp?) for the game was unmatch.

He would make a great bench coach on the White Sox. Imagine him & Ozzie

Just as long as both Simon and Cora stay away from us, I'm alright with that. I don't thing Simon has ever been considered overly intelligent so that move would hurt the Sox which would please me.

I thought that was vs the Braves (NLDS), or did he hit another?

Randall's #s from the 2003 post-season:

NLDS:  4 Games,  3/7, 0 HR, 2 RBI, .429 AVG, .429, OBP, .571 SLG
NLCS:  6 Games,  5/17, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .294 AVG, .294, OBP, .588 SLG

 

True to his nature, he did not reach base by any other way than a hit.... but he did hit!

I coulda sworn it was vs the braves, I must be confusing Turner field and Joe Robby/Pro-Player/Dolphin stadium.
