Consolation

In case you hadn't noticed, a player-development obsession helps to ease the pain of MLB post-season disappointment.

Adam Miller and David Huff led the Surprise Rafters to an Arizona Fall League win today.  Read all about it here:  http://www.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20071023&content_id=2279705&vkey=news_mlb&fext=. jsp&c_id=mlb

Re: Consolation
Many thanks for the link.  I was one of those who was very surprised me to see Miller in the AFL.  I guess over the course of the next few weeks we'll be able to gauge how healthy he is.

Re: Consolation
Speaking of consolation...anyone know approximately how much revenue the playoff run generated for the Tribe?  Is it more like ~1M or more like ~10M?

They lie dormant for 5 innings and then leap out and paddle their way to success!

Re: Consolation
"Surprise, Arizona...Put us out of our misery"

               - Richard Buckner,
                 Suprise, AZ

(yes, it's a real line from a real song.)

Asdrubal: Spanish form of "Hasdrubal". Means "Ba'al helps" from Phoenician azru "help" combined with the name of the god BA'AL.

Re: Consolation
Maybe this will help me remember who he is, i.e., who the PTBNL was in the Crisp deal.

By the way, that deal's looking a little better this week, isn't it?
