Tuesday Nothing Post

  • It's easy to be interesting, and it's easy to be reasonable, but it isn't easy to be interesting and reasonable, and when that gets exhausting, sometimes I need to take a break. There will be more breaks. If you prefer non-stop baseball stimulation 24 hours a day, feel free to go somewhere else, because I'm not in this for the traffic.

  • A lot of people want me to post more about rumors. A rumor this afternoon from Fox Sports suggests that the Mariners could be interested in Casey Kotchman as a 1B should he be non-tendered by Boston. If Casey Kotchman were someone that doesn't suck, then Fox Sports would be on to something.

  • My favorite thing from that article is that both the Phillies and Dodgers are after Juan Castro. Juan Castro turns 38 next June and, rather appropriately, has a career wOBA 38 points below Miguel Cairo. He's played 484 games since 2004 and, over that span, has posted a negative WAR. I don't know what's more surprising: that two of the best teams in the National League are chasing Juan Castro, or that I'd apparently visited Juan Castro's Fangraphs page sometime before today.

Update: oh yeah, that article also links the M's to Nick Johnson. Well no shit.

He has been mentioned more than once.

Here, here, and here. I would bet that you used it for the first one to make sure you were making an accurate retarded Beltre joke.

...and now I'm here

Another tuesday linky

Larry Stone has a blog piece about Edgar, as he hits the 5-year mark for HOF candidacy, with a link to the fact sheet the Ms prepared for the BBWAA.

Reading this makes me wonder about the candidacy of Todd Helton.

Do you think he has a chance?

Another gem from that article
“They’ve got to bring Jonny Gomes back,” the scout said. “He can hit, and his defense wasn’t that bad. He got a bad reputation from somewhere, but I think he’s very adequate. He made some catches and plays when I saw him, and he’s a super makeup guy. They’ve got to have a spot for him on that team.”
