Knuckleballers are so fun to watch. Makes me wish Charlie Haeger panned out. In that clip, the last second veer to the right just as it's going to hit the mitt is great. I have no idea how people refrain from taking Uribe-esque hacks at butterflies like that every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God was he an awful baseball player. He was fourth in that horrible streak of 1st round picks we had from 1991 to 2006 or 2007. Good god did we waste a lot of high draft picks.

Teams in competition aren't going to be looking to take on 3.5 years of a contract. I think people forget that certain organizations can't just sign FA's because players don't want to play there. For example, if KC or SD contend, they'll have to overpay at the deadline because they have such a hard time buying players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Idk if MLB memes on facebook is a reliable source but they said Cody Ross to the DBacks, 3 year contract. That doesn't make much sense...They would now have Ross, Upton, Parra, Kubel, and Eaton. Gimme some Jason Kubel PLZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
