Tuesday Nothing Post

- It's easy to be interesting, and it's easy to be reasonable, but it isn't easy to be interesting and reasonable, and when that gets exhausting, sometimes I need to take a break. There will be more breaks. If you prefer non-stop baseball stimulation 24 hours a day, feel free to go somewhere else, because I'm not in this for the traffic.
- A lot of people want me to post more about rumors. A rumor this afternoon from Fox Sports suggests that the Mariners could be interested in Casey Kotchman as a 1B should he be non-tendered by Boston. If Casey Kotchman were someone that doesn't suck, then Fox Sports would be on to something.
- My favorite thing from that article is that both the Phillies and Dodgers are after Juan Castro. Juan Castro turns 38 next June and, rather appropriately, has a career wOBA 38 points below Miguel Cairo. He's played 484 games since 2004 and, over that span, has posted a negative WAR. I don't know what's more surprising: that two of the best teams in the National League are chasing Juan Castro, or that I'd apparently visited Juan Castro's Fangraphs page sometime before today.
Update: oh yeah, that article also links the M's to Nick Johnson. Well no shit.
Whoo! Nothingness!

You used a naughty word.
CapSea - November 24, 2009
He has been mentioned more than once.
Here, here, and here. I would bet that you used it for the first one to make sure you were making an accurate retarded Beltre joke.

Joe Torre really liked Juan Castro last season.
bluemax - November 24, 2009
Joe Torre has a lot of stupid qualities about him

Another tuesday linky
Larry Stone has a blog piece about Edgar, as he hits the 5-year mark for HOF candidacy, with a link to the fact sheet the Ms prepared for the BBWAA.

If Edgar doesn't make the hall of fame then Poochie will kill himself.
Robert - November 24, 2009
I thought he was already dead.
Did we forget to give him the chocolate?
Robert Lintott - November 24, 2009
Reading this makes me wonder about the candidacy of Todd Helton.
Do you think he has a chance?
Two Rs and Two Ls - November 24, 2009
From 2000-2004 he was holy shit good and he had a couple other decent years as well...
Yeah I think he should make it.
Does he have a chance? Maybe not much of one.

Another gem from that article

If he was left handed I'd want him to DH for us.
Edgar for Pres - November 24, 2009
And he'll beat the shit out Coco Crisp.
