Heether

Whats the situation with him? Has he already been exposed to the rule 5 draft? Does he need to be added to the 40-man roster this offseason or really soon? It would be pretty nice to have a guy who can play everywhere up on the big league squad. He could be the next Bill Hall, except not overpaid!

Heether would be Rule 5 eligible if not protected.

He also was eligible in 2006, 2007 and 2008, as a player who signed his first contract after age 19 and spent at least four years in the minors.

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Actually, scratch that

As a player who’s spent seven seasons in the minors, Heether is eligible for minor league free agency unless added to the 40 man.

So will the low temperatures counteract the altitude effect on distances?

Unfortunately for those of us pulling for the Rockies, there’s one home run already.

So is the cold affecting Ibanez's eyes?

He’s taken some very creative routes to fly balls in left tonight.

Personally, I don't give a crap about Brett Favre.

Nah, I think it's just SOP for Ibanez

The Mariners fans used to trash on his fielding all the time, after all.

I've had to collapse both of those gifs

Just to keep from watching them over and over again.

All of a sudden, I'm glad I kept watching this game.

This 8th inning comeback is pretty spectacular.

Yes, but

This closer is the same dude who gave up a long ball to Jason Kendall. Oops.
Gut wrencher for the Rockies fans.

You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.

Wow..

I’m sure glad we didn’t over pay for Streets. That’s twice…

If Trevor reads BCB

Please: If the Brewers make the 2010 postseason, don’t do what Street did.

Get on the phone with management, and get McClung signed.
