We all have our favorites and judging on this person's age (if they are younger than me (I am 23)) then I really dont mind the obsessive nature. They simply put don't know any better yet.
And yes we can all show disdain and be rough on people at times. Some deserving and some not. *shrugs*
Look at the bright side, at least Bubba has a one loyal fan!

A nice team WHIP of .44 that game.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

Devo - the original sabermetricians - WHIP it good!
If he refuses his assignment, does it void his contract and make him a free agant? (Didn't think so)
I'd love to see us work out a deal with the A's for Burton. Don't they owe us a PTBNL? Speaking of which, did we ever receive anything from KC for Lash?
Yes they still owe us a PTBNL [Oakland]. The even money is that it will be Burton.If he refuses his assignment, does it void his contract and make him a free agant? (Didn't think so)

To my knowledge, nothing has come from KC for LaRue either.

I believe Keppinger was the PTBNL, but don't quote me on that.
Whoops - sorry!

I thought Keppinger came from KC not Oakland. Anyone got the official transaction?
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
Burton will be on the roster he has great stuff two more K's for him. Salmon has definitely spawned and is heading to AAA. Santos continues to wheel and deal. We have some really live young arms in the pen it is time to fish or cut bait Wayne.
I meant he came from KC....sorry for the confusion
A couple guys I've liked so far this spring that may not start the year on the team, although I would like to see them up here instead of others...
Keppinger-Castro (I know, hes hurt, but he looked good)
Burton-Cormier
Livingston-Milton
EZ-Lohse
Ideally, this is what I would want
Harang
Arroyo
Saarloos
Livingston
EZ
Weathers
Stanton
Bray
Burton
Coffey
Belisle
Salmon
(I would put switch Belisle and Livingston, but we need a lefty in the rotation)
(Maj in for the worst bullpenner when he returns ONLY AT 100%!)
Dunn
Freel
Griffey
Encarnacion
Gonzalez
Phillips
Hatteberg
Ross
Keppinger
Hamilton
Conine (STRICTLY 1B PLATOON, NO OF!)
Denorfia
Valentin
Domo Arigato, Here Comes Joey Votto
