[USML Announce] Rips Set Their Sale For Closer Job

Mon Mar 7 14:58:38 EST 2011

The Red-Hots have KC uber-bean Eric Hosmer -- and unless I totally screw up
the draft, your team can have him for a price (and no, not David Price,
since I have him too).  The Royals have an excellent pipeline of players.

I have a Royal on my reserve roster - the next coming of George Brett, Mike
Moustakas!

Greetings;

     It's really too bad this didn't come up a few days ago.  As part of my
mysterious job with the USDA, I was at

the Shedd Aquarium Thursday for a compliance inspection of their Amazon
Basin exhibit.  If only I'd known, I could have slipped a couple of their
lovely specimens (e.g. the Blaberus giganteus - Giant Cockroach, or the
tastier Scolependra gigantean - Peruvian Giant Centipede) into my bag for
Sunday morn.

     In the Potpourri category, did anyone else notice that the Royals were
almost shut out.  If not for John F. and myself, the USML would have turned
our collective backs on poor KC.  And there seem to be an inordinate amount
of FAs under contract this year.  Everyone excepting Mssrs. Winick and
Jansen have multiple FAs.  These two gents have zero.  And Andy and I are
the only two fellows ready to take full advantage of this year's deep draft
who chose not to clutter up our rosters with those annoying minor leaguers.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.   See you at 8:00 sharp on Sunday!

    Rick

The bugs aren't really out in force until the weather gets warmer.  Are you
willing to defer the payoff until June, when the big, juicy ones are
available?

Brad Lee,

I saw it.  I also saw that Ozzie said that "ideally" Thornton will be his 
closer.  In the immortal words of Rick Gammons (who, I will point out, did
not 
fulfill his promise) "I will eat a bug" if Thornton doesn't start the season
as 
the White Sox closer.

That is all.

The King

Thornton deal doesn't end battle at closer March, 6, 2011 Mar 61:52PM
CTEmail 
Print Comments By Doug PadillaGLENDALE, Ariz. -- Just because Matt Thornton 
signed a two-year, $12 million extension on Sunday that could grow to $18 
million if the White Sox activate his option year, it doesn't mean the
closer 
battle has been decided.

Thornton is the favorite to eventually land the role full time, but guys
like 
Chris Sale, Sergio Santos and Jesse Crain remain in the mix.

Matt Thornton and the White Sox agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract 
extension on Sunday."No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,"
pitching coach Don Cooper said when asked if a decision at closer had been
made. 
"We're still trying to work on what we need to get right with each guy. I
don't 
believe that's going to be talked about at least until our next meeting and
I 
don't even know when that's scheduled.

BLJ sez: Jeffrey, if Matt were gonna be annointed closer, they'd have said
so.  
You still have a day to dump him--you can thank me for the good advice.....
