We Apologize For the Inconvenience

Life has caught up to me over the past couple of weeks, and my once-sizable cache of pre-written list entries dried up. Rather than half-ass it, I'm going to put this on hold until Friday, at which time everything will commence as normal.

In the meantime, in commemoration of Delmon Young's exit from the Twins. I give you... this.......again.

What the Carlos Gomez Trade Really Means...

12 walks, 92 strikeouts last year...
Roller-skate defense....
Minnesota Twins starting left fielder... for ALL of next season.

Ladies and gentlemen, Delmon Young!!

Uno!

You see, it's funny because Delmon Young always swings at the first pitch, no matter where that pitch might be located.

Coincidentally, he's got 68 strikeouts and 7 walks this year. For being advertised as coming with "plus power", he's got only six doubles in 245 plate appearances (or about one double per 41 PAs, for reference, Neifi Perez averaged one double per 23 at bats over the course of his career).

Ouch.
