Here's the entirety of the blurb:
The Pirates yesterday traded right-handed reliever Franklyn German, who was with Class AAA Indianapolis, to the Chicago White Sox for a player to be named.
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.
27.2 24 12 11 3 17 22 1 1 126 2 0 3.58 1.48
IP H R ER HR W K ERA WHIP
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.
He has been better than Masset
but the walks are concerning. I guess he has never gotten that under control. Coop project? Though he doesn’t appear to be a hard thrower.
The SSS motto should be the answer to "What is our deepest fear?". Or maybe just Prozac.
German has been clocked at near 100 MPH in the past...
His main problem is control. He walks a lot of guys. Also, he’s Uribe-fat.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
He should fit in perfectly.

the weight
i think that 260lbs may be an error, i don’t know, the baseball reference page has 170lbs.

is it safe to let expectant mothers pitch?
I'm like a laser, six-string razor. I've got a mouth like an alligator
Well, I have no problem with these moves, and with KW there are quite a few
Get enough hard throwers with no control in Cooper’s hands and eventually a few will pay off. Hopefully he doesn’t see any meaningful innings this year though.
I really don’t care about how fat a pitcher is, tell me how good he is. I’m pretty sure THBts did some research and found that being fat doesn’t hurt a pitcher at all.
How will German get instruction from Cooper when he is pitching for Charlotte?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Wow, under a 1:1 K/BB ratio
Ouch. Somehow though he has an ERA+ of 101 in 150 something innings. This requires investigation.
I doubt this is Kenny's big move...
Washburn should be coming to the Sox.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

Agreed, those Mariners execs are pre 2008 Devil Rays bad, if they've been as demanding as has been reported
this isn't hard. you live in a port city. and you're a slut. do the math. -larry
he can be optioned to AAA right?
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
he doesn't have to be optioned. this appears to be a minor league trade.
the atmosphere is just too much for me.
any idea who the PTBNL is?
it isn’t necessarily someone who was drafted within a year right?

It's likely a scrub...
Franklyn German is no great shakes… although he jiggles a lot.

“Dunn deal: D-backs acquire slugger”
PHOENIX—The D-backs acquired outfielder Adam Dunn from the Reds on Tuesday in exchange for Minor League pitcher Dallas Buck and two players to be named later.Arizona claimed Dunn on waivers and was able to work out a trade with Cincinnati.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
correct me if Im wrong...
but I thought there was some rule like any player acquired after the July 31st deadline could not be used on the playoff roster..??
by JoeCoolMan24 on Aug 11, 2008 2:46 PM CDT up reply actions
I would have rather had Dunn
Than Junior, and we probably could have given up the same package.
I can only assume not, otherwise we would no doubt have done so.
Kenny is not that dumb.

and by that i mean, dumb enough to have not traded him at the deadline.

if you haven't noticed, i'm not very good at that
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
it's looking that way
i’m not sure why kenny thought this was a good idea.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
I still wonder if...
There was another deal in the works that fell through at the last minute, that would have made the Griffey acquisition make some sort of sense.
As it stands, it’s simply a head-scratcher.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Aug 11, 2008 4:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Griffey doesn't make sense on any other teams though really
but I kind of wonder if he couldn’t get through waivers anyway. Someone will want B compensation right?
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
i really have no idea
i need to find that guy’s blog who was reverse engineering the Elias formula. was that linked on Tango’s blog?
and if he’s likely to be A, i’ll honestly be okay with giving our guys rest down the stretch. also have you seen the numbers on Swish’s CF this year?
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
There's no way...
the Sox (or anyone else) offer Griffey arb, though. Draft pick compensation isn’t really an issue.
I did see the numbers on Swisher ’s defense the other day. As usual, I’m not sure what to make of them, although I am more comfortable when Brian Anderson is out there.
by The Jerry Royster Experience on Aug 11, 2008 4:46 PM CDT up reply actions
sure compensation is an issue.
if he ends up a type b, no need to offer arbitration to get the pick. automatic.
the atmosphere is just too much for me.
why would you get auto comp for a type B but not type A?
and why wouldn’t we offer him arb? he doesn’t want to play here long term and it would be a year long contract if it stuck.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
because that's what the collective bargaining agreement says.
i imagine it has something to do with A comp taking picks from teams whereas Bs just magically appear after the first round.
and because he might say yes and then you’re paying griffey like $10M plus his buyout to not have a place on the white sox? is anyone really going to 1) give griffey more money than he could get in arbitration or 2) offer him much more than a 1 year deal with an option? methinks no. arbitration probably is the best deal money-wise.
the atmosphere is just too much for me.
well this is quite the pickle.

I guess I should blame my grandfather for starting the Law Firm my dad owns now.
I actually don’t mind Rockford, its cheaper then Chicago and I still spend alot of my time in the city.
As for them being blocked out
no idea. WCIU supposedly has a repeater 3 miles away from me but I can’t ever tune it in. WCIU isn’t on my cable provider either (which is Comcast for fucks sake)
Don't know if its an option
Anyways, I guess I will have to settle for the radio which is fine. I just have no idea on how the hell I am unable to pick up a repeater thats 3 miles away (with regular antennas)
AT&T has pretty rapidly been expanding service
it’s worth checking out. it was cheaper than Comcast iirc.

cheaper, better product, infinitely better customer service...

Those whores have been lying to me for 4 years that they would expand to our subdivision. We literally are the only area in our suburb without coverage from AT&T. Comcast is obscenely expensive, even with illegal cable TV.

with all eyes on the twinkies, i don't think it's been mentioned that much around here
but if ortiz’s infamously ‘clicking’ wrist keeps him out of boston’s lineup for any significant time, it puts us in a lot better position with regard to the wild card. a win tonight ties us with boston for third best record in the AL and the wild card lead, should the division slip away. i certainly haven’t given up on the central title, but it’s nice to have options.
you're one step above jre in the toughness dep't, i'll give you that.

The one who didn’t know who Ken Griffey JR is and claims his favorite sport is “the olympics” talks to me constantly about this band. He is obsessed with the lead singers “creativity”... I keep telling him I pretty much only listen to EDM and Hip Hop for the most part and yet he is still doesn’t get how I am unable to like the band.

Sox fan from England, marching on together
If you're not on the 40-man roster, you can be traded through August
if you are on the 40-man roster, you have to pass through waivers before you can be traded. In the case of Dunn, I’m pretty sure Arizona put in a waiver claim for Dunn. Arizona is then allotted a certain time period to try to work out a deal for Dunn. The players that Cincinnati is getting for Dunn most likely aren’t on Arizona’s 40-man roster (or, if they are, they’ve passed through waivers without anybody claiming them).
I’m pretty sure what I typed is correct. Feel free to jump in if I fucked up, anyone…
this Waiver thing
how do the teams know who is on the Waiver list? is it in the public domain?
many thanks

The 30 front offices get a list.
Nobody else can see it. The waiver wire is usually a closely guarded secret. Usually even the players know they’re on waivers until they need to know.

Awesome comment on Rosenbloom's blog
In response to Rosenbloom saying, “And besides, I haven’t seen anything from Junior that would make me want to sit Jim Thome.”
I agree that I haven’t see anything out of Griffey that would make me want to sit Jim Thome, but I’ve seen enough of Thome to sit him anyway. When the White Sox beat the Cubs in the World Series this October it won’t be in spite of Jim Thome, but it sure won’t be because of Jim Thome.
