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?

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.

Re: Merkin is Back
I first read this as "Merkin is Black."
