Is Sheffield stealing a lot at 38 crazier than Paul Molitor stealing a lot at 37 or referring to Herb Washington as a DH? 105 games played, never fielded a ball but never had an at bat either. Also this! "In 1974, Washington was tapped by Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley to become the team's "designated runner". Finley and Washington worked out a one-year $45,000 contract with a $20,000 signing bonus. The contract had an unusual clause requiring Washington to grow facial hair before the beginning of the season. Washington had difficulty growing a full mustache, so he used an eyebrow pencil to simulate full facial hair." Why can't we get eccentric owners back instead of the John Fisher's of the world?

When’s the last time someone got released by a MLB team, caught on with a new one, and received a multiyear extension - all in the same season
He played in 42 games with the M’s before they extended him

Rays called up Junior Caminero If he could do me a favor and be a bust that'd be great Praying for him to get caught up in an international arms dealing scandal or some Rays shit that will stop him from torturing us for a decade I will say- with what happened to wander does that org ever give out a major long term extension ever again? Sure, but they will require chemical castration as part of the terms of contract.

Is Sheffield stealing a lot at 38 crazier than Paul Molitor stealing a lot at 37 or referring to Herb Washington as a DH? Gary Sheffield stealing 22 at age 38 is a little more surprising than Molitor stealing 20 at age 37. Molitor played at an era that favored steals more than when Sheffield played, Molitor had multiple 40 steal seasons, whereas Sheffield’s 22 was the second most of his career (he had 25 as a 21 year old). I guess I’ll echo that tweet in saying that I thought it late stage Sheffield as a large power hitting guy, not a 20 steal guy.

I just realized that Junior Caminero is listed at 6'1" and 157 lbs. He hit a 116 mph laser beam yesterday. I don't know how you get EVs like that with that kind of frame.

I saw Junior Caminero in person a week or so ago when he visited the Durham Bulls. He's a very large gentleman. All kinds of power and size. I've seen him referred to as the "RHH Devers." From 2023: "Listed at 6-foot-1, 157 pounds, Caminero is closer to 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds." www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38457537/rays-calling-top-prospect-junior-caminero

Angels have Christian Moore in AA (naturally) and he's 14 for 30 with 5 homeruns so far. He was 6 for 11 with a homerun in A ball.
