Around SBN: More Televised Winter Baseball, Please

This link is allegedly to the story, but it seems to lead to nowhere as of now.

UPDATE (BREAKING!!!!!1): It now works. He's going to AAA to get some ABs, and it seems like the kind of thing where there's a date he expects to be called up by. It's for the minimum and the Rangers made an offer too. Maybe he wants to play with Scutaro, Inglett, Bullington and Tallet.

It’s well known that the Blue Jays love our castoffs

True, but only if they are light-hitting infielders or soft-tossing lefties. Dellucci is a light-hitting lefty. They must have gotten their wires crossed.

Someone called this, I forget who.

His 2009 numbers for Toronto: .310/.367/.498. 12 home runs.

I guarantee he doesn’t hit 12 homers

Could Ryan Ludwick hit when he was with the Tribe?

by odradek on Jun 10, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

He had chronic injuries, which prevented him from settling in as a major leaguer. I don’t think the Indians dumped him for not liking him, they just had a roster crunch.

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Boy, Jay, you had better check the batteries on your sarcasm detector. Ludwick actually did hit well for the Indians in 2003 (slugging .485). His knees, as I recall, were what kept him out of the lineup.

Nor do I think Dellucci is going to go wild for the Jays. I was simply commenting on the apparent predilection for former Indians to improve when they are released.

by odradek on Jun 10, 2009 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

No, the predilection is for us to notice former Indians after their release when they improve. Not the same thing.

That’s why I said apparent, but you’re right. Ron Belliard is a good example of one who did not go on to greater glory.

except winning the World Series that year

by Roger Dorn on Jun 11, 2009 11:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

I had forgotten about that. And he hasn’t been bad for the Nationals.

EDDIE MOOOOOOOO!

Juan Salas: Smartest man in baseball?

by emd2k3 on Jun 11, 2009 12:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Improvement would be a couple home runs

by Roger Dorn on Jun 11, 2009 9:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

Against the Tribe.

by odradek on Jun 11, 2009 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

He’ll pick up a few more singles on the turf, but thats about it.
