Best thing about Silva is it's not even like he's a guy people are likely to enjoy having around since he was actively formenting dissent in the Seattle clubhouse against Ichiro, so he literally brings NOTHING to the team.

 

Proven Major Leaguer, imo

 

Hey man, sometimes you just gotta go to the veteran.

If he looks this bad for the remainder of ST, I could see them eating whatever they owe him and letting him walk. Id rather give the kids a chance than keeping someone that bad around. I dont want to base a decision on a guy off of 1 cactus league game, but the guy looked flat out awful out there.

He's been flat-out awful in real games for four years now, too.

I think you can make a pretty solid decision about him. You know what he can and can't do, and he's shown up and seemingly showed little interest in working on his pitches or his weight. It's tremendously unlikely he's going to stop sucking.

I know people say this all the time but holy crap Geo is skinny. I feel like I was just watching him take cuts in 2004 spring training or something. You're used to seeing players get bigger as their careers go along not much smaller. I think he must have swallowed a tapeworm or something to lose all that weight in the offseason.

Like those flyballs that all would have been hits if they hadn't been caught.

Or started smoking crack. In which case, bravo geo. That's going way above and beyond.

I'm hoping his BABIP can be somewhere around .750 this year.

I love the ridiculous nature of scoring in Arizona. I think you'd only be safe if you had at least a 15-run lead.

 

And only then if Carlos Silva isn't pitching.

My money is on heroin. That seems to be the drug that leaves celebrities in amazing shape so long as they don't end up dead.
