Behind the third door we find...Jim Edmonds!
(If the Brewers keep signing a new player each day, the Advent Calendar is going to be really easy.)
As I'm sure most of you know, Jim Edmonds is a former Cardinal and Cub. Before that, though, he was an Angel. In fact, he was an Angel so long ago that he's one of the last remaining California Angels.
Before the 1997 season, the Angels changed their name from the California Angels to the Anaheim Angels (before eventually becoming the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim). Edmonds is one of just four active players from the 1996 team:
| Player | 2009 Team |
| Jim Edmonds | n/a |
| Garret Anderson | Braves |
| Darin Erstad | Astros |
| Troy Percival | Rays |

Edmonds-esque
He used to be synonymous with spectacular catches. I hope the year off has healed his wheels.
Before the days of UZR
Edmunds was one of the best CF I have ever seen.
8 Gold Gloves, right? He always made plays look spectacular. Kind of like Aaron Rowand.
I've always just said
You-Zee-Are
Brewers Baseball and other assorted nonsense (mostly the assorted nonsense) at my blog, What's a Tararrel?
Yup
They flow, phonetically like Uziar. Sounds like a prescription drug.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
he with the oozie
Cards Announcers On Gamel's First Career HR, "That’s all they need is another home run hitter".
I usually read it as "oozer"

I'm really happy that you asked this question
Don’t know why. I just like the question.
I’m an oozer guy.
I'd rather have Erstad.
In that case, if the baseball thing doesn’t work out, we can always ship him up to Green Bay and let him compete for the punter’s job.
That, and the GRITTTTTT…
Also:
Is the caption to the picture supposed to be read in the James Earl Jones, “THIS … is CNN” voice?
No, it's just the easiest cop-out I could come up with.
I’m still not excited about the signing but I’m trying not to make a scene of it.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Jim Edmonds
I for one like the pick up… Hoping he can still play… Nice off the bench guy
Goooooo-mez!
