I had just read the Woodward & Bernstein book, and knew that to be wrong, and argued with him—the irony being that all I knew was that it was the name of a porno…I don’t think I yet had a good grip on what the term referred to. But he was quite insistent :).

well, I didn't want to get into a bunch of scenarios in the post, but...

I’d rather have Cameron in there (it IS only 18 PAs) if the alternative is a Kapler/Nix outfield. I was thinking Braun might be back, in which case it wouldn’t have hurt too much to give Cam his first day off in a while. (since 8/3, anyway)

Also, cheese.

So it's pointless now, but

If the outfield from left to right is Nix, Kapler, & Hart, is it known as Niplart?

I have this irrational hope that Hosmer doesn't sign

Because the Royals got Melville in the 4th round. The Yankees and Red Sox failing to sign Gerrit Cole and Alex Meyer, respectively, was tasty justice.
