Brett Wallace DFA'ed

[Dr. Dinger]

FOR JEROME WILLIAMS

 

Astros designated INF Brett Wallace for assignment.

 

The move clears a spot for the newly-signed Jerome Williams on the 40-man roster. Once a top prospect, Wallace owns a meager .242/.313/.391 batting line over 311 games in the majors. It wouldn't be surprising if someone takes a chance on him, but he remains a disappointment. Feb 6 - 4:42 PM

DFA'ed? Interesting choice. I would have done with DFA'd.

[Dr. Dinger]

Technically it should be D'edFA.

Can we really not embed videos any more?

I'm 100% sure I embedded a video the other day of the Price is Right fail horn.

Maybe has to be a web imbedded file instead of YouTube? Might be Youtube that blocks the functionality so that you have to go their site and see the ads etc.

[Dr. Dinger]

Nope, it was Youtube. I'd dig it up but the search function on this board is s***. It's in the BBDL thread.

Was it in off topic? You can embed videos there, for some reason.

[Dr. Dinger]

Well that makes sense...

[G-Snarls]

You can embed videos in the prospects and off topic, but not here.

 

Odd. I wonder if that's a decision admin made deliberately?

Maybe he wanted to keep the streaming porn off the main site to not repulse casuals.. lol

Considering there's kids on here, it might attract a prison cell too lol.

Didn't juiced say he was tinkering with the site sometime before the new year and accidently messed with a bunch of things while updating?

I think he said some things started working fine, while other things weren't working anymore lol I guess youtube vids in main section was side effect of the update

i could be entirely wrong though lol

I guess that would depend on what kind of porn it was.

Maybe. TBH he's been away a lot but the place is working very well as it is. A few minor glitches can be fixed before the busier season starts in a couple of months.

Ugh man, you can't use this epic scene for comedy.

[mitchf]

I've got to admit, I thought he was good. Didn't like the trade..

[gruber92]

In 30 years from now we will be in our prime posting years and the "regulars" from 2014 will be dead

 

Jokes on them!

 

Here's hoping you have a long and prosperous career.

Yeah, I had a long thread on the other board saying I didn't like it. I didn't mind moving him.. just didn't like how AA went off the board with Gose as he seemed just like any other 1st/2nd round draft pick.. not like there was any evidence of his superior scouting.. would've liked to see him moved for a young mlb player or someone closer to ml ready.. felt like a backwards move

[GD]

I liked Wallace a lot and liked Gose and was happy but didn't think there was a clear cut winner. Hasn't exactly worked out for either team, but hey, Gose could have some value this year, I think he's gonna be real nice off the bench.

Tremendous insight.

 

Seriously though, Gose as a runner/defensive sub is infinitely more valuable than Wallace and his ____.

meh, not a big deal. like you said, site's running fine so that's really all that matters

[G-Snarls]

Yeah. Now that he has the ignore list, infractions, bans and unbans working and a few hacks removed we're good. And better equipped to deal with the s*** storms we'll have during the actual season when it gets way busier and trolls start coming out after every 2 game "losing streak" or blown save.

[jaysfan2014]

At least Gose is still 23 and has upside. Brett Wallace is a definite bust as a prospect, being dealt from 4 different clubs. He doesn't make enough contact, and strikes out a ton. He also can't play defensively either.. his 1B and 3B skills are below average.

 

Of course, until Gose proves himself at the MLB level, the trade's a wash so far.

[TwistedLogic]

I remember reading some moron's comment on this site a few days ago that the Wallace for Gose trade was looking good for the Astros at this point. http://i.imgur.com/py2PxcN.gif
