I’d keep him, toss him into the ’pen .. and say goodbye to Gosling.
As for “I might be back soon” .. sounds to me that is essentially saying … “When Pavano is dealt, I’ll be back in the rotation.”

I think you might be right. Hopefully they can pull something in the line of a AA starting pitcher with upside who could spend the rest of the year in Columbus and make a run at the big league rotation by the middle of next year. I’d say that would make the Pavano deal worth half of the $1.5 mil we paid him this year.

AAyAy — keep Sowers down there until he’s traded for a bag of baseballs.

oh man, i never thought about trading a guy for a bag of baseballs. that’s funny when you picture it. it’s like the guy isn’t even worth another player, but at least you can use the baseballs. classic. i hope this catches on.

Didn’t the Braves trade a case of bats to the St. Paul indy team for someone a few years ago?

Yeah, but I think Brick is just being this guy.

And thanks for stopping by.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

And the player involved with that trade later killed himself, right?

Correct. In the end, not a funny story at all.
No, not you. Your helmet!

Actually, this was the guy I was thinking of…

“purchased from Minneapolis (Prarie)” but as I recall, bats and balls were involved.
