OT: old guys and recent prominent former rangers(blalock update!)
i have an unusual thursday off today and am up real early for an off day and am real bored so here's this.
how the oldest of the old are faring so far this season:
Jamie Moyer (48 years old). that must make him oldest pitcher ever (not counting satchel paige) because baseball-reference stops his age comparisons at age 46 (tommy john)
1-1 with a 7.50 ERA. 7 K's in 12 innings (2 starts). 1.417 WHIP.
Tim Wakefield (43 years old, will turn 44 later this season)

3 saves, 1-1 record, 5 games. 3 k's in 5 innings. 2.000 Whip
Matt Stairs (42 years old) much was made about him being on his 13thish team which i believe is a record.
8 games, 8 at bats. 1 hit (.125 avg and obp, .250 slug). 1 double, 4 strikeouts
Brad Ausmus (41 years old)
4 ab's in 1 game. 1 hit (.250/.250/.500) in 4 ab's. 1 double.

I was just so excited about Loe and Littleton
back 04 and 05. I really thought those guys would be key players for us for many years.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Blalock is a whole different kind of disappointment
between him, Hamilton and Davis, I just don’t think I will ever trust a hitter after one good year in the big leagues.

awesome mugshot.

SBN screwed up your original one w/ their tagging feature
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
surely
there’s gotta be somebody on their AAA team that was there in 2009? they have blalock in that banner? a guy not even part of the organization
mugshot is a good word for it..
He’s got the most beautiful “prison pallor”. Get some sun Hank, if you’re gonna suck at least look good doing it.
I'm straight for Heidi Richardson.
fun
I thoroughly enjoyed that.
Not mediocre. Right about average
Uncle Milty had 3 tantrums already....
Let’s see over the course of a season that comes out to about 30something tantrums. Those lucky M’s!!!
I'm straight for Heidi Richardson.
Stop it.

Moyer is "only" 47.
That’s why his comps stop there. Won’t be 48 til after the season ends.
In vino, veritas
So, let's see
Marlon Byrd .281/.311/.526 UZR/150 = 12.6 in Cubs had to be run out on a rails so we could see
Julio Borbon .156/.174/.200 UZR/150 = 4.9
I’d settle for Borbon being as productive as Byrd was. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Byrd/Borbon situation turns out similarly to Barajas/Laird.
