I mean
During a famous Penthouse interview in which he ruffled feathers in 2001, Burrell explained that he “never” wears underwear. His Phillie teammates used to refer to him as “bait,” as in “Pat the Bait,” according to a story from the Philly Inquirer:
During Burrell’s first few years with the club, before he was married, the older players used to command him to make appearances at the bar while the Phillies were on the road. They dangled him as “bait” to attract women.

This is late, but LOL ME!
I’m going to break out a little math
Let’s say Burrell hits like he did during his last season in Philly (not that I expect him to, but I feel like this is the absolute best he’ll do). According to Statcorner park-adjusted wOBA, he would be worth 16.7 runs above average per 600 PA’s. Let’s also say that Nate hits at a conservative -5 per 600 PA’s. That’s a difference of about 22 runs.
Now for defense: Burrell’s career UZR/150 is -7.8. Ignoring aging (oldjacket, help me out!), let’s call Burrell -8. Now, Nate’s career UZR/150 is 23.1. I have a hard time believing Nate is one of the greatest defensive outfielders of all time, and he’s only had about 1290 innings (or its equivalent) out there. I’ll regress him about 50% of the way toward average to about 11 runs. That’s a difference of about 19 runs.
So: basically, the difference between the best case scenario for Burrell and a conservative estimate of Nate is about 3 runs in Burrell’s favor. Nate please.

Talk amongst yourselves
Nearly a billion dollars across 112 contract years was committed to 33 players with less than six years of Major League service time during the 2009-10 offseason extension period, spanning October 2009 through April 2010. Joe Mauer, Ryan Howard, Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, and Justin Upton each signed deals worth at least $50MM. Two years removed from this extension period, which contracts now appear the most regrettable?
RAJ FTW!!!
Howard’s five-year, $125MM extension begins with the 2012 season, the beginning of which he’ll miss due to a torn Achilles tendon. Ruben Amaro’s deal was panned at the time and only looks worse now.
Amaro signed Joe Blanton to a three-year, $24MM deal prior to the 2010 season. Due to an elbow injury, Blanton didn’t provide his usual innings in 2011. He’s penciled into the 2012 rotation to finish off the contract. The main player the Athletics received for Blanton in ’08 was Adrian Cardenas, who was recently designated for assignment.

Yup. Long story short: A girl (kind of a slutty one) is at a bar and pat is there. She goes to see him, they chat for a couple minutes and he invites her back to his hotel room for an after party. She can’t decide whether or not to go but her friends convince her to. When she gets there, she opens the door and there is no one there but PTB. He is standing in the middle of the room completely naked with a baseball bat. She starts to say something like “hey i thought this was a party” but he interrupts her with “Hang on, two more cuts.” He took 2 more cuts and then put down the bat, looks at her and says “who wants to fuck pat burrell?”
It sounds like this has happened to multiple girls, but I still think it’s pretty funny.

Yeah. He’s extremely non-prospecty in this case. Even in his “good year” last year he didn’t hit very well once you adjust for the fact that a) it was the PCL, and b) he was a first baseman.

Yeah, I thought about adding “repeating AAA for the second time at age 27”
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
Here's a thought.
Given who we already have available in SF and the minors, who would you rather have occupy Pill’s roster spot?
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
But I’m making a joke about the possibility that he ends up in Fresno. If Belt is not in fact in Fresno, that becomes a tougher question to answer. If Belt ends up being the correct answer to this, then my God they are dumb.
The other part of this is that the lack of palatable options is pretty damning again. People who say that there’s no point in getting worked up about the 25th spot on the roster might be correct. When that can reasonably be applied to spots 24, 23, 22, and 21, that becomes and issue.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
This is kinda my point. For all the hand-wringing about Pill, the alternative is Burriss or, what Tyler Graham? A 13-man bullpen?
And really, I think the chance of Belt being is Fresno is wildly overstated.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Yeah, that’s why I was joking when I said Belt.
But it Belt actually is in Fresno and Pill is in SF on Opening Day, there will be rage. Guaranteed.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
I don’t think the Giants have enough outfield depth without Belt for that to happen.

I'll muddle through

Perhaps. He might get enough playing time as a backup to Posey, though, given the whole “100 games” expectation from Buster. I can understand arguments either way.

It seems like those are totally different tracks (and for good reason).
Cash rules everything around me

My question is, if one catcher catches 100 games, and another catches 62 games, is either really a true “backup catcher”? 62 games is still a ton of games.

That’s true. There’s still a difference between playing sixty games and playing full-time, though. I don’t think there’s any doubt that he would develop better if he got a chance to play almost every day, and I don’t see what he adds to the Giants right now that would offset what he would lose by sitting most of the time.

Usually there are 13 position players; 12-man Bullpen.
So everything you’ve posted up until now is probably the expected opening day roster, but there’s one more spot to toy with. Right now, that’s Pill.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
My feeling is that that 13th slot will be a competition between Burriss and Pill.

Oh, there is plenty of discretion on the part of the judges they complain about.
But it’s not just that. It’s the coverage by NBC, the coverage by icenetwork.com (the online place that streams EVERYTHING), the commentators, the food in the venue, the shuttle between the hotel and the venue, the costumes, the way the skaters interact with their coaches, etc., etc., etc.
Also, there are constant conspiracy theories about this coach “politicking” to get certain scores from certain judges. Blah, blah, blah.
The judging system is actually not that difficult to understand, but I think it makes the skating more frantic because so many elements have to be crammed in.

Plus what you did to the Dodgers is always a plus.

The concert was pretty great. Although the sound mixing for the Social Distortion part was a bit crappy.

But we had a great time – worth the partial hearing loss that lingered through the next morning.

On the topic of beer: I tried Sierra Nevada’s new Rye IPA, not bad. I’ve got a mix pack of Smutty Nose in my fridge at the moment.
Ask me about my blog.
I thought that SN rye was pretty great, especially the cool bottle design. Smuttynose makes a really good IPA, but I haven’t had much else from them.

OT: Need some help
Basically, a year ago three of my friends and I said that we were going to get a house together senior year. So now it’s house hunting time, and it’s pretty much the Little Red Hen situation – they’re telling me what they want (which is a ridiculously high set of standards for a HAHA seriously? price), but aren’t helping with the whole actually finding the house and negotiating a lease part. Granted, two of them are studying abroad this semester, but they’re not even looking at websites, nor did they want to look at houses when they were here last semester.
On the other hand, some of my other friends have found a house, negotiated a lease, and are offering me a room. It’s pretty much exactly what I want for a fairly reasonable price, AND most of the work has been done for me. Thing is, it’s going to be a party house, which I’m not used to after living next to the RA for three years.
I just don’t know what to do. I want to live with the first group of girls, but they’re putting me into an impossible situation. Any suggestions?

Them being abroad really puts a kink in planning, I think. But, more importantly, do you want to live in a party house? Let’s say that you do not. That makes your decision pretty easy (even if most of the work has been done for you and the price is right). ’Tis better to struggle now then suffer through the term of a lease.
I honestly don’t know about the party house – I don’t drink now, but I probably will next year since I’ll be 21, so that’s a bit unknown. And my room is such that it has its own bathroom and kitchen, so I could potentially shut myself in if I don’t feel like partying.

Yeah, completely different markets.
She’s getting a decent deal for herself at $1000, but anything considered “comfortable” in LA costs more than that.
It has been my experience that party people don’t like it when there are non-party people around and, therefore, feel compelled to lasso non-party people into the party.
Not saying you’re easy lassoed but if you don’t even want to bother with having your willpower and self-control tested regularly, it may not be the living situation you desire.
Then again, I understand completely that you don’t want the stress of finding a place to live and moving in and all that other stuff. If this easier route is something you think you can be comfortable with then I think you should probably go with that rather than deal with organizing everything.
In terms of the “pact”… set a deadline. Maybe they will get their butts in gear.
