    Well, those other guys were being called up to cover positions people were (mostly) confident they could cover; Schwarber being the big exception. With Contreras, they still really want/need him to work on his defense behind the plate. Also as good as Contreras is/can be I think it's fair to say he isn't on the baseball savant level that Bryant, Russell and Schwarber were as prospects. There's a lot more factors that go into being ML ready as a catcher, as well. It's not just thinking his bat is ready to throw him out there. Oh, definitely; Contreras is a guy you hope works out and isn't likely the kind of freak you just plug in and he's kicking ass like Schwarber or Bryant (I think it's a mistake to include Russell with them along those lines; he's much more of a traditional good prospect).

    Probably. He's got fewer than 600 ABs above high A. He's probably not ready. Sorry but that's [expletive] stupid, we have how many other guys that were called up with the same number of ABs? Willson is ready, and this move is stupid as [expletive]. I hate having catchers that can't hit.

    "How did it get there?"

    Actually, I'd happily give him some good feels with no strings attached.

    I'm incredibly fortunate that I was still a lurker back then, because I would have made some posts that would look really bad in hindsight. Wait... I mean, yeah, I was always a fan of that trade. I've been Team Arrieta from Day 1. I kinda think you're Tangled up in Plaid since that thread reminded me he just up and vanished last year.

    does he still hate him? He's actually a big fan of the redemption story aspect of the whole thing, but man, does he hate that trade.

    I think I was actually on vacation, but I definitely remember thinking it was dumb when people like Truffle were harping on Shark for his comments on the trade. Plus it was one of the rare cases where I knew the scrapheap players coming back because my diehard Orioles fan friend HAAAAAATED Arrieta

    I'm so relieved I didn't post in that thread.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus, people are focused on the IFA money and actually talking about people like Shawn Camp in that thread; those were dark, dark times.

    Good ol' fashioned goofin' around.

    Alright, this was pretty damn impressive: http://deadspin.com/billy-hamilton-lays-out-for-spectacular-catch-possibly-1773287392

    You're all Texas scum in the end.

    what the heck is going on here? Is that the Sale clip? If so: the catcher tosses the ball to Sale, Sale isn't paying attention and he's startled when it lands behind him.

    TIME TO RIDE HEY.

    He's the baseball version of The Rural Juror.

    Please tell me you're not following Theriot.

    This was all so predictable. Hopefully they fail in the postseason in magnificent fashion. The Cubs losing to Dusty Baker or the White Sox in the postseason would be extremely tough to take. Given that losing to the White Sox in the postseason would mean the Cubs losing the WS, I'm pretty sure that would be extremely tough to take regardless.

    He's a character from The Americans; he's an annoying youth minister dude hanging out with the teens. He also probably inspires a ton of wig-envy from the protagonists with that outrageous 'do of his.

    Please, someone get Trump's attention focused on this.

    I might actually watch the Blackhawks tonight. http://bestanimations.com/Sci-Fi/StarWars/R2D2/r2d2-c3po-animated-gif-2.gif

    And if any team is going to know how to spot sign-stealers, it's the Cardinals.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Yup; complete fluke.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Is this a trick question?

    David's going to be saying everything's #blessed in no time.

    Time to do something cool, Soler.
