Re: Merkin is Back

Merkin the trading chip. In all actuality he could be pitching in The City by July if he continues to progress.

Re: You know what's great?

While I am completely in favor of this, may I call your attention to my various and public gameday cries of "YARILIA!" from earlier this year. Hurumph.

But yes, that is, indeed, great.

Re: You know what's great?

This is a pretty old graphic, though. At least a year old, I'd bet.

Re: Merkin is Back

Last chance for the Merk. Hardly a prospect anymore. Valdez needs his arm to snap into place like that kid from "The Rookie"

Re: Merkin is Back

thats "rookie of the year". The rookie is the dennis quaid movie. Please get your bad baseball movies straight.
PS Is chet the rocket stedman available?

Merkin Valdez...... I swear he's still alive.

Re: Merkin is Back

Merkins usually come back if you don't keep them shaved.

Democracy is lovely but baseball is more mature. BVCE supports Manny Burriss and SF Dugout.

Re: Merkin is Back

I see that Merkin is listed at 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, which would seem to indicate he's filled out a bit. And last night a knowledgeable Giants fan told me that he is actually 6-foot-3 and 230, which is outside linebacker size.
