Creaky Vets Who Actually Make Sense

PrintBrian Sabean likes veteran players.
pause to allow you to pick up your papers, which you dropped to bring your hand to your face after gasping in shock
No, it's true. Here, check out this quote that I stumbled on the other day.
It’s believed that infielder Mark De Rosa is one of those players. 1B Nick Johnson and CF Scott Podsednik are also believed to have received offers, although I haven’t been able to confirm that.The club also spoke with the agents for Rod Barajas, although he’s one of many catching options the Giants are considering.
The Giants signed De Rosa. And to be fair, Nick Johnson was sort of a cause célèbre around here. If you still want him, he's back on the market, just like Ivan Ochoa! But the kinds of players that build the Sabean stereotypes aren't necessarily De Rosa (who was good the previous season) or Johnson (who reached base in most of his 74 at-bats every season), but rather Podsednik and Barajas. Why in the world were the Giants interested? Because Sabean. That's why.
The problem with this is that every veteran gets tarred with the same sticky Sabean brush. Don't ask why it's sticky, veteran. It's, uh, tar. Just hit the showers. Every veteran that comes up in free agency is linked to Sabean, partly because jokes are always funnier when they're run into the ground, and partly because it's so danged true. The Giants actually offered a contract to Willie Bloomquist, and it wasn't just to be their new payroll manager. Amazing.
But when Jamey Carroll came up as someone with a mystery suitor, Twitter exploded with Sabean-related guffaws. Carroll is approximately 53 years old, but he gets on base and can play a position of need for the Giants. There are good veterans. Maybe Carroll doesn't turn the knob on your gumball machine, but there are some over-30 players who might make sense for the Giants on a short deal. Think of them as not-Jeff Keppingers:
Wilson Betemit
He's mostly a third baseman now, and the Giants sort of have one of those. But as a super utility-type, he has experience at every position but catcher and center field. He's a switch-hitter, and he's actually been really good over the last two seasons:
| Year | Age | PA | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 28 | 315 | .297 | .378 | .511 | .889 | 141 |
| 2011 | 29 | 359 | .285 | .343 | .452 | .795 | 117 |
He's like Mike Fontenot with more bat, less glove. Seeing as Fontenot isn't exactly Omar Vizquel, that's not exactly encouraging. Betemit is probably too stocky now to be a legitimate backup shortstop, even in an emergency. But he can hit. And when Freddy Sanchez breaks down again, I'd love to have Betemit's bat behind him. It's not like his range can be worse than Jeff Keppinger, who just got to a ball that Will Venable hit in August.
Jerry Hairston, Jr.
I know, I know. You let one Hairston in, and the next thing you know you're eating human flesh. It's a slippery slope. He's probably stretched way too thin as a starting shortstop, but Hairston is better than Orlando Cabrera. You'll notice that's a recurring theme with the subset of humanity known as "most baseball players", and it's a pretty sad benchmark. But as a multi-position guy who's getting a one-year deal, he's comparable to Mike Fontenot in offensive production, but he can also play the outfield. That's pretty valuable, especially with a need for a defensive replacement in center field after five innings.
Ramon Santiago
He was the starter on a 119-loss Tigers team. He's now on a perennial contending Tigers team, and he's apparently satisfied with his role. I don't see how a guy like that decides to leave suddenly -- seems like a Tiger 4 life to me. But he's actually a shortstop, and if the Giants are seriously considering starting Brandon Crawford -- and I hope that they aren't -- they'll need a backup who can hit right-handed, at least. Clint Barmes will probably want to start somewhere, so he's likely out. Santiago would be okay. Not great. Not good. Better than Orlando Cabrera?
Carlos Beltran
Beltran is actually not a utility infielder, but rather a switch-hitting outfielder who will turn 35 next year. The name is familiar to you because he was actually on the Giants last year, where he hit .323/.369/.551 in 167 at-bats. It is my belief that Beltran is a good hitter, and after studying the Giants' needs, I have come to the conclusion that they need more good hitters. He might be a veteran, but he should be someone the Giants consider!!!!!
Sabean is like a carpool buddy who is constantly playing country during every commute. And we're talking about the bad country -- the kind that's basically Slaughter and Damn Yankees with less shrieking and hair spray. You want to file an injunction against him, or sue him, or something to stop the ear gonorrhea, but every once in a while you have to stop and remember that Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson exist. Hank Williams and Buck Owens.
It's not all bad. There are some creaky guys out there whose name will probably make you twitch, but they could be better fits for the team than are Mike Fontenot and (especially) Jeff Keppinger.
(All things being equal, I just keep Fontenot. Heck, I'd even start him at short if they can't get anyone else. But if they're serious about letting both Fontenot and Keppinger go, it's probably not the time to panic over every veteran that comes up in a Sabean-related rumor. Just most of them.)

Steve Finley was good for the Giants
OK, just kidding. Finley was actually pretty bad for the Giants. However, compared to Edgardo Alfonso, who the Giants would have been paying instead, he was excellent. True, Finley was only good for 0.9 WAR for the Giants in 2006. But Alfonso somehow managed to be worth -0.9 WAR in just 95 PAs in 2006. So, in a certain way, you could say Finley was close to league average for the Giants in 2006!
Scott Hairston
His Bro Scott is the Giant Killer. We should sign Scott and keep him on the bench, have one of the players keep him injured, or sell him to Japan. If he sits on the bench and never plays he is worth 4 wins a year to us.

Slim and none are still chances.
Seriously, why do you feel this way—too costly?
One way or another, this darkness got to give.
Cost is obviously Number 1. I think he’ll get a bigger deal somewhere else.
An AL team could give him a longer deal knowing they can move him to DH after a a year or two. Beltran may not be willing to do that right now, but he probably will be.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I think we do
And I’m a pretty cynical guy when it comes to things like this. Sabes can back-load a 3 or 4 year deal due to Rowand’s $12M coming off the books after next season and Zito’s $20M coming of after the 2013 season. Beltran wants to be with a winner, so that narrows the Giants competition to something like:
Red Sox, Yankees, Tigers, Rangers, and Angels
The fact that the Cuban defector, Cespedes, has suddenly entered the market this offseason really reduces Beltran’s leverage, IMO.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
Aren’t the Yankees gonna get Cespedes, tho? Seems foregone to me.
Just play a Brandon or two, come on!
So? That takes them out of the running for Beltran.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
No, I just don’t think it really affects Beltran’s price. The same teams will want him, because they’re the ones who can’t afford Cespedes.
Just play a Brandon or two, come on!
If the Yankees were in on the bidding for Beltran and they drop out due to the signing of Cespedes (which I disagree that they’re the lock to get anyway) then that reduces Beltran’t leverage. Especially his mult-year leverage, as I would put the Yanks as the team to most likely offer Beltran a contract of more than 3 years in length.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
I doubt the Yankees would be willing to overpay for Beltran. Stop thinking like Sabes.
Just play a Brandon or two, come on!
Maybe not Cashman, but the Steinbrenner brothers are chomping at the bit to put their stamp on the team. They haven’t been to the World Series since they took over the reigns from Daddy. Are you forgetting the horrendous Rafael Soriano signing last year?

Modern country explained
I just got back from my first visit to Tennessee. While in Nashville, I did the lower Broadway jaunt, door to door from one excellent country cover band to another. Never a cover charge, beers always cheap.
That’s when it became clear to me why today’s country sounds like leftover Eagles songs. These bands grew up covering whatever’s popular. Sure I heard too many renditions of “Family Tradition,” but the second-most covered song of the week was ‘Summer of 69." It’s not that they don’t appreciate the Highwaymen. It’s that they cover everybody.
No wonder when they finally make it they sound like that. That’s what they’ve been doing all along.

His WAR in the NL was 1.5 and his defense has been getting worse each year for the past several. He costs way too much for what you get out of him. Fontenot could give you just as much. If he was so good why would the Pads want to get rid of him? It’s not like they have a hot SS prospect pushing him out.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
He makes 5.5 million dollars, which is baseically what you'd pay for a 1 WAR player
His salary is perfectly commensurate with his performance.
And the Pads want to get rid of him because they have no business spending 5 million on a shortstop, even if he’s worth that money. The Giants should. The Giants and the Padres are not the same.
I like Fontenot too, and I’d rather play him over Crawford. But hey, Bartlett is a righty. Platoon ’em.

The difference between the bats of Fontenot and Crawford means much more than the difference between their gloves.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
That’s debatable. Fontenot is a platoon bat and I agree with every coach he’s had as a professional that he is not everyday shortstop material. I actually don’t think it’s smart to have Crawford as plan A for shortstop this winter… it’s just fun to troll you and GP about defense not being important at SS.

Omar was worth 8.4 WAR over his three full seasons with the Giants. That’s pretty good.
Is it February 19 yet?
And -.7 in his last year
7.7 WAR in 4 years as a Giant. Slightly below 2 WAR/year, which is a league average player. Slightly below average. Hence, it’s a little his fault that the Giants were bad those year.

It’s more like the characters are so underdeveloped and uninteresting that you don’t really care about them. If they had a backstory or more interesting personalities or even discussed where they were going and what they wanted to do, it would be better.

Heyman's probably winging it as usual
but if there’s any truth to his entry today that the Giants aren’t in on Reyes or Rollins but are focusing on SS, 1B, and pitching, then WTF?
I agree with Fla-Giant that Sabean will be kicking the tires on Beltran until the bidding gets beyond 3 years, at which point the field narrows considerably. But why are they even spending energy thinking about 1B, unless 1) Sabes is thinking about dumping Huff anyway possible, and/or 2) the team has already soured on Belt for any number of worthless reasons.
As for Bartlett, if Heyman is correct about the Giants looking at SS, he very well might be that guy assuming the Padres would even trade within the division. But that’s a $5 million hit to the payroll, which would tell me that Bartlett would be starting and Crawford would be back in Fresno until the trading deadline.
Responsible for the last great homegrown Giants team.
Do you really think that Heyman has any inside info on what Sabes & Co. are thinking? For that matter, does any national writer have that access? I would say definitely not. The Giants are a closed book under Sabes’s reign. The only info he could have on the Giants is what other teams are telling him.

Agreed.
Sabes has been pretty clear that he doesn’t play that game anymore, so whatever Heyman, Morosi, and Rosenthal are getting is coming from the agents and other GM’s. The echo chamber effect at these meetings is well-known, but it’s not a mystery that other teams will pony up what Reyes wants, and that Amaro has said they can still get the Rollins deal done after Papelbon. So the SS and pitching focus isn’t new, but the one piece of his blurb that raised eyebrows was about 1B.

when was the last time a move by the Giants was “leaked” before it was made. Beltran is the only one I can even think of but that was because it was so obvious.

But major moves all come as shocks… like when Baggs (pretty sure it was Baggs) was saying how Tejada said goodbye to him in the parking lot, and Rowand was cleaning his locker when he went into the clubhouse….The Giants beat writers usually have the most inside edge into moves before they happen, or as they do.

It's Heyman so take this for what it is worth
•Signing Tim Lincecum to a multiyear deal is at the top of the Giants’ agenda, reports SI’s Jon Heyman. The Giants are aiming for at least a four-year deal, which would buy out two years of free agency. Though Matt Cain is a year closer to free agency, Heyman says the focus is more on Lincecum. Heyman believes Lincecum’s agents at Beverly Hills Sports Council could file as high as $25MM in arbitration this winter, in my opinion a risky move if the Giants come in around $20MM. For more on Lincecum’s historic arbitration case, click here.

Because he’d have the chance to make $2MM more. It just seems kind of dumb to pull a number out of his ass and then classify it as a risky move when he’d still be making $20MM. He’d still be getting 80% of what he asked for.

If your offer is substantially higher than what the team is offering, the arbiters (is that the word?) will likely side with the team. You can’t offer much more than you think you’re worth. If he filed for 22ish, he would likely come out of it with an extra mil or so more than what he would if he filed for 25.

He’s going to be drug tested before signing, right? Even still, he could stop in enough time to clear the test. A team could be signing someone who will deflate over time.

I think the issue is the Giants’ ownership firing a popular CEO and then instituting what seems to be a payroll freeze when it seems they should have increased profits. If they’re not going to reinvest those profits into the team, what good are they as owners? (This of course is the school of thought that sports franchises should not be profit-making for owners, which I think the GOG disagrees with.)

Was going to post this comment, but it is in the article.
The $20 billion in losses over the past four years has surprisingly little to do with declining mail volume or the Internet. Rather, it stems from the 2006 congressional mandate that the USPS pre-fund future retiree health benefits for the next 75 years, and do so within a decade – something no other public agency or private firm does. These roughly $5.5 billion annual payments since 2007 – $21 billion total – are the difference between a positive and negative ledger.
The legislation was intended to drive the USPS out of business and “privatize” mail delivery. It is an unreasonable piece of legislative garbage and should never have been passed. Please name one private company that is subjected to this type of requirement.

Because we don't want to pay for public services
Personally, I think the “public service” value of the USPS is pretty dubious at this point and I’d be content with privatizing it. But as a general rule, Americans’ attitude toward public services is weird and counterproductive. We want public services but we don’t want to pay for them, so we wind up with crappy public services that everyone complains about, and this shows that “government doesn’t work.”
I wonder how much prices would sky rocket if privatized though. Sure, business knows how to keep costs low but they also know how to maximize profit. I agree with the rest of your comment though.
Proud parent of SD-born Shane Loux.
If Cain is with us, who can be against us? - atxgiantsfan
Prices would certainly go higher in rural areas
If the service continued to exist at all. In urban areas, I’m guessing prices would be no higher than they currently are, but available service options might change somewhat. My view is that mail is no longer an essential public service, so it doesn’t make sense to subsidize (mostly rural) Americans’ consumption of it. That’s why I’d be OK with privatizing it; I don’t care if prices go up, down, or sideways.
As someone who lives in a rural area it would bother me quiet a bit. While the mail service may not be essential to live I’m sure there are many who heavily rely on it.
Proud parent of SD-born Shane Loux.
If Cain is with us, who can be against us? - atxgiantsfan
I know some people still rely on it
And I’m probably somewhat ahead of the curve in my opinion that it’s no longer essential. My view is that it would be like removing the floppy drive from the iMac; there will be resistance to change but once it’s gone people will realize they didn’t need it after all.
Seriously, how would grandmothers send out their $10 Christmas checks to their grand-kids?

That hardly seems like a reason to have year-round mail service
You could just pay somebody to drive around and pick up the ballots on election day.
Someone paid by say a corporation with a competing ballot measure up for a vote ?
/snark off.
This is where we will probably disagree. Prior to my current employer, I worked for a multi-national for twenty years. Everything was profit driven. At some point, and rightfully so, profit takes precedence over the service and needs of the customer. Some services like health care or public services (commons) should not be held hostage to profit.

Not what I meant
I meant the county would pay someone, ie a public employee, to go pick up the ballots. Doing this one day a year would cost the public a lot less than year-round mail service.
I agree that some services (police being the most obvious) should be provided as public services and should not be profit-motivated. But I’m not sure that mail falls into that category (anymore).
I would rather
be punched in the face than deal with the El Cerrito branch of the USPS

This is quite true
But I’m fully comfortable with it. I don’t see any reason to continue to subsidize rural living.

Dodgers not expected to make run at Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols
LA Times:
The Dodgers aren’t expecting to make a run at top-line free agents Prince Fielder or Albert Pujols.
Asked Tuesday of the possibility of adding a big bat this winter, General Manager Ned Colletti said, "As of today, it looks less realistic."
Fielder was at the top of the Dodgers’ wish list at the start of the winter, but Colletti said he has no meetings scheduled with Fielder’s agent, Scott Boras, at the general managers meetings in Milwaukee this week.
In fact, the Dodgers’ payroll in 2012 will be less than it was this year, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The Dodgers’ payroll was around $110 million last season.
Safe for one more year. They should still be better even with a potential black hole at 1st base.

Well…eating less calories does. I know that studies show that drinking diet soda actually result in weight gain but that’s apparently due to a desensitivity to sweetness (thus you make up the calories elsewhere). I don’t really eat sweets elsewhere.

Tab Soda
The soda later garnered negative publicity when scientists speculated that its main sweetener, sodium saccharin, was a potential animal carcinogen.4 These studies, done on lab rats, resulted in mandatory warning labels on the soda throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. In recent years, the studies asserting saccharin’s carcinogenic effects have been largely debunked. Recent studies found the initial findings to be “flawed” and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked the mandatory health labels in 2000,4 deeming no correlation between saccharin and cancer in humans. Additionally, in December 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency removed saccharin from its list of hazardous substances.5

He leads in almost every offensive rookie category, save for average, which makes him the Curtis Granderson of American League rookies. Hosmer is close in many area, and has a better average, but Trumbo has enough of an edge to get the first place ballot.

It has to be really challenging as an actor to read Kevin Smith lines

Rock Center is coming on.” I don’t know in what universe he lives, but it’s apparently one in which forgiveness is as common as hydrogen. He seems to think he can flip a switch and hey! Friends again!
But then he mentioned he’d somehow picked up a Moneyball theatrical poster and wanted to give it to me. So I sent him an e-mail this morning and set it up. Lunch was a cavalcade or stilted conversation and barely-concealed loathing. And that was just on my side of the table.

There’s the artichokes that are in cans or jars, pickled or marinated or whatever, and I like those, but they’re not really interesting. Then the fresh artichokes … I don’t get it.
My palate simply isn’t capable of discerning subtleties. Wine tastes like wine. I mean, I can taste differences between wines, but damn if I can taste berries or chocolate.

Pretty much
This deal, however, figures to be especially historic, as baseball positions itself for the 21st century. Among other things, it will pave the way for realignment of the sport into two 15-team leagues, adding a second wild-card team in each league, spreading interleague play throughout all six months of the regular season and making significant changes to the draft, free agency and the so-called “Competitive Balance Tax.”
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
This is good
In recent days, the sides have found ways to come to a meeting of the minds on the last of the major issues that have prevented them from reaching an agreement earlier — in particular, a plan for curbing spending on the amateur draft and a revamped draft-pick compensation system for teams that lose top free agents.
Details of those changes have yet to emerge. But contrary to reports that compensation picks could be eliminated entirely, some clubs are now saying they’ve been told to expect that in the future, teams will only have to give up a first-round draft choice if they sign one of a handful of “elite” free agents.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
And why is evening out the leagues or interleague throughout the year bad?
They aren’t going to add interleague games or anything.
I hate the 2nd wildcard
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I’m going to go look up the last major league to have an odd number of teams. brb
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
The 1884 AA had 13 teams, but Richmond was a midseason replacement for Washington.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
Who cares?
Does the odd number of teams in the two leagues have any affect on anything that matters?
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Yes
Every team can’t play on the same day if you have an odd number of teams. This is self-evident.
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
I disagree
So long as you allow at least one team to play twice.
I think it was the Indians who did that once. Was it in 1999 that that happened?
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."

2007 Jimmy Page – 63 years old
Plus ‘77 Led Zeppelin was in full-flight, united as a group, with arguably one of the best rock drummers of all time. The ’07 O2 arena show was neat, but not the definitive article to remember them by, IMHO. There is footage of the O2 arena show out there though, I watched a friend’s DVD copy once.

It is considered by many that, by 1977, Page’s heroin use was beginning to hamper his guitar playing performances, as exhibited on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings from their 1977 tour of the United States, by which time the guitarist had lost a noticeable amount of weight.

I have no idea where you're getting any of this
On BR, from 2009-present, Ellis has been worth 2.9 oWAR and 2.5 dWAR.
So he’s getting more value from his offense than his defense.
Why are you saying he gets “most of his value” from defense?

He had one good year in 2010 but had a oWAR of 1.2 (2008), 0.9 (2009), and 0.3 (2011). He also only plays 2B where Carroll played both 2B and SS.

Doumit is reportedly weighing a few contract offers and may make a decision as soon as this week. Christensen indicates that the Twins haven’t extended a formal offer, however, meaning they probably weren’t among the clubs Doumit was considering over the weekend.
As for Willingham, we heard earlier in the month that at least ten teams had already expressed interest in the outfielder. Given the lack of power-hitting outfielders on the market, Willingham appears poised to do quite well for himself this winter.

he was talking about how the Giants’ payroll is skewed by Zito and Rowand and that if you took those two out, the team would not have a big payroll.

Correction: I don’t know what I’m going to make.
I’m here to kick ass and drink sweet tea, and dammit, I’m all out of sweet tea.
Here is a good side dish (with a southern flair)
I made it up one Thanksgiving when I was sick of that sad, traditional green bean casserole. I have been making this each Thanksgiving for about three years. Always a hit.
Fresh Green Beans with Pancetta and Pralines
1 LB of Fresh Green Beans
8 oz of Pecan halves ( bagged are fine)
8 oz of Pancetta
1 clove thinley sliced (razor blade) Garlic
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar.
Clean and snap ends off of green beans
Steam Green beans for approximately 25-35 mins until tender (not floppy)
Warning ! Multi-Tasking Ahead
Concurrently——-
melt butter in a small saute pan over low heat, add brown sugar, add pecans stir, adjust heat, cook until sugar is carmelized on pecans
Heat large saute pan over medium high heat, add pancetta cook until crispy. Turn down heat to low, add garlic, saute until garlic is translucent.
Add green beans and mix well. Place green beans in a serving dish. Stir in sugared pecans.
I realize that this combination sounds odd, but think about it for a minute. Fresh, crisp, green beans, a slight tang from the slow cooked fresh garlic, un-smoked bacon (pork fat, salty), buttered and sugared pecans ( rich,sweet,). It has everything. Sweet, Savory, Rich,and acid tang

I tried it with more pancetta, but it didn’t quite work. If you notice, I did not say to drain the fat before adding the green beans. That makes up for the limited pancetta.

I have about a million recipes for sweet potatoes and yams but they can all be divided into about two categories – candied (i.e. very sweet recipes) and more natural (as my mother likes to call them “adult” recipes). I tend to bourbon candied yams for the holidays because I don’t want any kids to be disappointed but I don’t want the adults to kvetch either.
Here’s a relatively simple one that you can alternate to taste:
Ingredients
6 medium-large garnet yams*
1 stick butter
1/4 c. bourbon (I also add a dash of SoCo or Wild Turkey if it’s around the house)
3/4 c. brown sugar (more if you prefer sweet yams)
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of mace
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash and peel yams and cut into 1 1/2 inch slices. Steam slices until just soft enough to mash (it’s important not to over steam them or they will become too soft) and mash together in a large bowl or large Pyrex oven-safe bowl.
In a small saucepan, melt stick of butter and add remaining ingredients, stirring thoroughly. Slowly add the dressing to the yams a little at a time until thoroughly mixed. Add additional ingredients to taste. Transfer yams to 13 × 9 inch pan (if working without Pyrex) and bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes.
*For purposes of this recipe, yams and sweet potatoes can be used interchangeably but I prefer the garnet yams because they result in a beautiful bright orange, perfect for fall.

Word is that sushi in the midwest is less dodgy than sushi off the dock. Reason is that the fish served at sushi joints in yon hinterland has been flash frozen from the moment it is caught, and does not unfreeze until more-or-less ready for eating at the restaurant. Stuff off the pier sits around and rots for a while…. Not just on the pier itself, but on the way to wherever its being eaten, stored in substandard fridges before eating, and so on.

The problem is the way college is set up.

Were they Japanese back then?
I don’t know much about the history of the Ryukyu Islands. For some reason Formosa comes to mind; were they ever administered together?
"Forget it, Jake. It's academic."
No and I don't think so.
There’s mythology, some dress, and a language unique to Okinawa and the nearby islands.
The Ryukyu Kingdom was united around 1400 I think, and the main influence then was China, not Japan. They paid tribute to China and the king was invested by the emperor. They weren’t quite a colony, but they weren’t entirely independent either.
In 1600ish one of the southern Japanese daimyos (feudal lords) invaded and used the islands to trade with China as a way around the closing of the country. From then on the Ryukyus were paying tribute to both places and there lots of convoluted court games.
Not sure about the Taiwan part, they may have been for a short while.
Vroom. Walks. Five positions. Justin Christian
I've been fully suckered into the Twitterverse. Oops.
Brief history of Taiwan
Taiwan was always natives and Chinese.
It was Dutch for a while (thus the name Formosa), de facto independent for awhile, Chinese, and then Japanese after the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895 (still one of my favorite treaty names…the terms sucked but the name is fun to say).
Taiwan became independent after Japanese surrender in WW2 and then the KMT took it over 1949.

This story just gets crazier and crazier
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)—A former Penn State graduate assistant cited by a grand jury report as claiming he saw an ex-assistant football coach sexually abusing a young boy in a campus locker room shower says in an email he made sure the act was stopped and then went to police—contradicting what the report says.
McQueary, now the football team’s wide receivers coach, told a friend from Penn State that he made sure the 2002 shower assault he witnessed was stopped and went to the police about it. The friend made McQueary’s email, written Nov. 8, available to the AP on Tuesday on the condition he not be identified.

But I do find it a bit hard to believe that, even in State College where football is king, the cops would bury a report of child rape. It seems impossible. All the way up to, say, aggravated battery, I could see a cover-up happening. But child rape? I guess I’m not that cynical.
Yeah, I doubt it was even reported
but I never underestimate the willingness of some people to take money over doing the right thing.

Now that football is over and I don’t have to stay at school until seven, I decided I would be productive and start my lit homework at 1. I figured that even if I were to take five hours, I would be done by 6. I ended up starting at 2: an hour lost, no big deal, done by 7. It’s 6:15 now and I’ve been working for a significant part of the interim and I haven’t yet finished the first question; there are eight. I don’t think I can work without significant time pressure.

I read one theory that would extend Theon’s storyline out a little, keep him in the Iron Islands a bit longer and move some of his ACOK stuff to S3.
S3 ends with the B&R “murders” but done by Dagmer Cleftjaw instead of Ramsay. Then in S3, Ramsay shows up as “Reek”, blah blah, like 3 eps in he betrays Theon and all the regular shit goes down. Then B&R&whoever else escape.

I wouldn't let Keppinger go...
If Sanchez isn’t a sure thing to return, he was an adequate second option. And if Keppinger is expendable, maybe he can be traded for a low level minor leaguer rather than given up. Apparently, he was valuable enough to be a Type A player this season (!). Why give up on that type of player for nothing?
The Twins, White Sox, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Royals, Orioles, Indians and Mets all have second base issues at first glance. They can get a Type A player without giving up a draft pick or worrying about a contract bidding war. Sabes doesn’t have to get a lot for Keppinger, but get SOMETHING…
