Worst part is, he'd probably be starting there

Well, his mom won't have to put up with my opinions any more.    Good luck to him in Anaheim.

So he's going straight to AA and maybe will be the longman in the pen for Anaheim in the future

Why? Was he blocked? Was he DFA? Did we need money?

He was DFA. He was going to be claimed.

Bridwell got claimed over Garcia? That's surprising. Surprised either got claimed.

Neither was claimed. Obviously, The Angels would have claimed Bridwell. He is on their 40 man. You cant wait until they are claimed to trade them, you have to trade them before they are put through waivers. They are not revocable waivers.

I don't think Matt's Uncle cared much for me.

Flat Breezy's brother posted.  David's dad of course.

It's infrequent but does happen.

Davids dad I knew.  But that is the only one I could think of.  

Matt Weiters or Albers?   Yes I realize probably the former. But you never know. 

Flat Breezy brother does sound familiar.

Hobgood.

I came out strongly against the pick and never let up.

I remember your sentiments on the pick.  Missed his uncle responding, surely that was entertaining.

We didn't engage directly very much.

I never blamed Hobgood for getting drafted or hurt.  I just thought it was an avoidable mistake.
