    He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. He's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already.

      @ josh:

      I really enjoyed it but I could definitely see the Hope Monster rubbing his(?) tentacles in naughty places at some of the Theo quotes.

      I can’t help but smile at F7 saying “I’m dumping my girlfriend & moving to Arizona”. All Cubs pitchers should dump their girlfriends and move to Arizona.

      Yeah, kind of what I was afraid of.

      There were a couple of other players who emerged last year. Epstein traded for first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who the Red Sox had drafted under Epstein, and he hit pretty well for a 22-year-old. Darwin Barney played Gold Glove defense at second base.

      Darwin Barney didn’t emerge last year. He was above average in 2011 (2.2 fWAR, 2.5 fWAR in 2012).
