You call that stalking?
C’mon, caincecum probably doesn’t even have a secret lair.
The All-Father is now a Giant!
And even if he does, it probably only has, like, 3 computers.

Sweet
good to know he’ll sign. So this pretty much means we’re about to pick up 2 more 1 round talents, the other being Posey. Mmmm this is turning out to be a good ass draft…
creepy.......?
yes however at least i got the news we were all waiting for? just c it as i took 1 for the team? and by the way i would liked to be called the “talented mr caincecum” quite fitting really
Official rules
Caincecum, you’ll need to contact either sharksrog or Grant to get a copy of the official MCC rules on shrine construction, as well as submitting a proposal to Goofus.

Careful
Careful there cainecum, Roger K or any other player or draft pick may not be so willing to chat with you if he knows his responses are going to be splashed on another site for all to see. I’m just saying you could have let us know that you communicated with him and he hopes to sign soon.
he probably doesn’t really care. he’s accepting everyone who sends him a friend request on facebook.

I have to say I agree with the warning, but I still thank caincecum for passing along the info.

Dude, thanks for the info, but...
I agree with the rest that it seems a little creepy. Boundries man, boundries. But, thanks for the info none the less… just please don’t go digging through Posey’s garbage.

Ok which one us is channeling too much Gil Renard now?
Seriously though nice info to pass a long. Just the way it was done makes a third party think of that movie.

somebody find him on facebook and ask him if he has his Visa yet (I’m guessing that is the hold up with him)
by FluLikeSymptoms on Aug 12, 2008 11:34 AM PDT up reply actions
Drafts are only from American-qualified (from American or American based schools like Puerto Rico) players. Basically, if you’re in the draft, you shouldn’t need a Visa except in extreme cases.
Perez was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, so unless Russia took over the Carolinas before invading Georgia, there is definitely no need for a Visa on Perez.
Though if he gets a good bonus, he may qualify for that OTHER kind of Visa card.

He originally came to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic on a tourist visa and overstayed the deadline—casting into doubt his ability to obtain a working visa needed to play professional baseball, though his paperwork is reportedly in the system.

hmm…
So either he was drafted, or the draft was invalid and he is an IFA, right?
I’ve heard nothing about him trying to be a free agent, and get teams to bid though (but I could have missed it).
He was drafted as an American college baseball player (remember even Cuban defectors who establish residence in America are treated like other Americans as far as draft status), but it was understood that he might have issues with his visa. I don’t think he is trying to become a free agent, he just has to have a work visa to sign a professional contract. It doesn’t seem to me that it would be that hard to get a visa, but I am by no means an immigration lawyer.
by FluLikeSymptoms on Aug 12, 2008 5:38 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, it shouldn’t be that hard to get the work visa, considering he has a legit job from a company (the giants) who would likely be willing to sponsor the visa, which is usually a slam dunk, as far as work visas go. There must be some strange curveball in this situation, if hasn’t been worked out already.
oh….actually, the overstay of his previous visa is probably the problem, but even then the penalties vary, from my understanding…
Kudos, Brute
Russia invading the Carolinas before heading to Georgia – I laughed out loud. Thanks for making my day!

Perez
thanks for reminder. I was excited about him a while ago. In a baseball kind of way.
