You call that stalking?

C’mon, caincecum probably doesn’t even have a secret lair.

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…

by boonitez on Aug 11, 2008 11:37 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

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.

by APGiantsFan on Aug 12, 2008 12:03 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

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.

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.'

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.

How about Juan Carlos Perez?

by wilriv21 on Aug 12, 2008 11:22 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

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 0 recs

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).

by haverecords on Aug 12, 2008 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

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 0 recs

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…
