Okay, Murray. Now you've gone too far.

NOW the other thread makes sense.

TheOldMole wrote: Yeah, the same thing I said about Wilmer Flores goes for Tejada as well: whether the Mets re-sign Reyes is going to be determined by what they think of Reyes exclusively and almost certainly NOT be affected by potential SSs already in the system. Disagree -- I think one of the main reasons for deciding to let a popular and proven veteran go is thinking you've got a better choice coming along. Right, but I think the point was that neither of these guys is exactly Cal Ripken.

The night he threw five pitches before getting hurt. Listened to the game on my way to the city for a concert.

My apologies for dropping the ball on my alleged coordination of this. Thanks for taking the reins. Count us in for four. CD -
Oh, I did know Josh Stinson. I have two copies of the green x-fractor version of that card.

Gets called up in May after a slew of injuries for a spot start, throws eight shutout innings to win a short-term spot in the rotation. Gets eleven starts, goes 5-2, 3.88, gets traded in July for Asdrubal Cabrera. Wins the 2012 AL Cy Young for the pennant-winning Indians.

See if they'll take Ollie for him.
-
Who the hell is Josh Stinson? I swear, you're making these guys up.
-
Wearing 45 ("Franco's number"), as per the Twitters.

They don't have to negotiate. Have Fred, or Jeff, or Sandy, or whoever just write out one of those big cardboard checks with Jose's name on it, and let him and his agent fill out the dollar amount.

Big News! (update: Mets Minority Stake For Sale)

Honestly, I think Trump would be a hoot. -

As a big card collector, it's a thrill to connect with these guys, even if it's just through a piece of paper. Musial used to be a wonderful through-the-mail (TTM) autograph signer, usually substituting whatever you sent him to sign with a postcard; I'm assuming he just signed dozens of postcards and then just had his people process them. Stan played minor-league ball in Rochester; I have a big litho print of the stadium surrounded by Red Wings autographs framed in our basement, and Musial's signed card is front and center, right at the top.

Nobody's fucking trading Jose Reyes, okay? They're signing him long term, and that is that.

Sumbitch. That's Pete Harnisch grounding out on the Pecota. I need that in my collection.

Pretty much, yes. Fleer brought a lawsuit in the late 70s against Topps, which broke the monopoly and created two new sets (Fleer and Donruss) for 1981. Then in the late 80s-early 90s, all sorts of other brands popped up (Score and Upper Deck, most notably), eventually killing the market. "Only" Topps and Upper Deck remain, although Panini -- known for their stickers back in the day -- are back. Donruss- and Fleer-branded cards are out there again, but they're produced by Panini and UD, respectively.
-
I have that card, and one other from that set. (Kanehl, I think.)
-
Got those team sets in; I think I probably have about four or five more if anyone's interested. Michigan's right on the value, but he's also right on the fun. None of the four guys I collect most heavily have any "value" on the secondary market (except maybe Keith Hernandez), but I do it for myself.
