Later in the show, there is an adopted Korean kid who only says “Annyong” which means hello in Korean. So everyone thinks his name is Annyong. They say Annyong, he replies Annyong, hilarity ensues.

Lucille adopted a Korean boy who upon first meeting said “Annyong”, which means “Hello”. They just assumed that was his name since he kept saying it, so they called him Annyong.
i think if we combined brewers hitting scouts with giants pitching scouts that would make one damn good scouting team

Ultimate Role: Everyday player/middle of the order
Summary: (Watch scouting video) Gillaspie is a classic plays-like-his-hair’s-on-fire gamer type who has plenty of hitting ability to make him a legitimate late first-round prospect. Gillaspie has a very quick bat, almost a little too quick in and out of the zone, and great hand-eye coordination. He keeps his weight back well and drives through the ball, although his swing is more geared to contact than big power. There is some concern over whether Gillaspie can stay at third long-term, but he has a solid-average arm and is athletic enough to improve at the position with time and instruction, or would be a potential candidate to move to the keystone and become an offensive second baseman.

“He’s going to be a run producer with the bat,” Sabean said of Posey, “so it’s kind of like getting two players in one. It’s very, very difficult to get an all-around catcher, especially a run producer.”
Last time Sabes used the “It’s like getting X players” argument, it was to justify Neifi’s signing (“He plays 2nd and short and he’s a switch-hitter, so it’s kind of like getting four players”).
I did like this, though:
“He’s far more advanced than he gets credit for by people who have no business evaluating him,” Sabean said.

he’s very much a raw prospect

He’s very raw but giant upside, I’ve heard him called the best overall athlete in any draft over the last few years.
Exactly the kind of guy we can’t develop. Who was the last athlete the Giants turned into a ballplayer – Bobby Bonds?

Before anyone answers, yes, I was exaggerating

I like that pick.
And there goes Hewitt, he’s got monster upside. Best athlete in this draft by far.
The Giants need to stay far, far away from athletes.

I dunno
As the BTF thread went:
> Bo Jackson to Phillies
> I’m not a Hewitt fan, but it’s a logical pick for the Phillies. They love these projects.
The Giants are no good at projects.

If that project....
Has a nickname at the plate of “Eve of Destruction”, I’d be cool with it.
it's always noonan somewhere
Clinton defeated Obama!
Wait, is that too obscure for that whole Dewey defeats Truman thing?

I don’t know – that’s pretty good
