Olney:

The Yankees are not expected to make a blockbuster deal before the trade deadline, but they are seeking ways to upgrade their rotation and are taking a serious look at Seattle lefty Jarrod Washburn.

As they say, a good picture's worth $1,000.

Of course these pictures are worth approxamitely $9,850,000. That saying sucks. Much like Washburn.

Nope.

They say if you have to ask the price you can’t afford it, but I already understand that so I’m going to. But without having done so, yet, I’d guess that this photo would probably sell for at least the salary of the MLB minimum player:

Only 8 of them were printed. Ever.

Of course, as of right now per wiki, a sale of the “Moonrise, Hernandez” photo original has been the highest of any Ansel print. And that was for less than $1 million, amazingly. I’m fairly certain, though, that while it’s one of Ansel’s more popular images, his 1930s stuff that doesn’t get that much attention is right up there in value.

Spoiler alert!

Hahaha…

Anyway—I believe this is the shot of the foothills where it’s a tradition of either high schoolers or college kids to go and scratch graffiti into the mountain. He took the photo anyway, and had his retouchers edit out the words that were written on that mountain. I can’t remember if he touched up the negative, too, or what. It’s something like that, though…

Here’s a larger copy of this shot, but I’m not sure it’s a good enough scan to see if you can tell where the touch-up work is. But in one copy of this that I’ve seen, you can definitely tell…

Hmmm.

A google search for “Moonrise, Hernandez” doesn’t really do it justice.

There’s a reason why Ansel wanted total, absolute control over even cheap duplications of his works…

Will the M’s use Bedard’s MRI/injury status as a reason/excuse NOT to trade Washburn?

by marc w on Jul 22, 2008 5:16 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Well, they're finally admitting that Bedard's DL stint wasn't just a paper move

his shoulder’s sore, and not getting any better.

A smart team judges the Washburn thing separately from Bedard’s injury, because it doesn’t matter at all if Washburn might make the M’s marginally more competitive in 8-10 more games versus RRS or Ryan Ketchner. But the M’s would have to admit that they aren’t trying to win more games by trading Wash, and that’s what they’re reluctant to do. For reasons that nobody else comprehends.

I can just see some press conference with Lee or Armstrong telling gullible reporters that the team COULDN’T trade Wash, with the injury to Bedard, the injuries in AAA, RRS wasn’t ready, Batista still struggling, blah blah blah owe it to the fans best chance to win timing didn’t work out etc.
