Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Saw this on the transactions page of sfgiants.com while looking for Bumgarner info. Who is Joel Collins, and why did the Giants acquire him from the Pirates? Was it some sort of PTBNL or did they give up someone for him?

He is a poor hitting catcher in A ball apparently. I don't get the need for him, but whatever

I am hoping the internet doesn’t run out of pages in the next 35 minutes before we know what the fock is going on, because I may go nuts

But poor-hitting catchers in A-ball are the best kind. As an organization, you really have to hoard those like gold-plated, copper-plated silver goblets.

Or… what exactly do people hoard these days? Playstation 3’s? Donuts?

Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

You kids can hoard whatever strikes your fancy. I’m sticking with goblets.

Need someone to back-up Molina and Whiteside?

I bet they make him a pitcher next year.

The guy put up awesome numbers in ss-A last year, but he was pretty old for his league.

Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...

Ya, hasn’t had any success at A or A+ ball. Puzzling
