33,39– so, has anyone seen anywhere (aside from that KC Star comment that Lima ‘considered the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres) anything that indicates that either team was thinking of Lima beyond being part of the pool of portentially cheap pitchers out there?

I’m sure the M’s wanted Lima, though. Big-game temperament, postseason experience, veteran leadership, grit and determination, over 30 years old, etc. etc. All he’s missing is that he’s not from the Pacific Northwest, as far as I know.

But unfortunately we couldn’t swing a deal, so his 5.00 career ERA will grace another ballpark.

These comments reinforce perhaps comments are not needed. So far of point.

Thanks for the Chirstmas Cheer guys. Right back at you. Your efferts are appreciated….Cheers

My comment was removed, I see.

Oh well, I can see why it was removed. I’ll try to stay clean here from now on.

Oh, and I’m glad that Jose Lima didn’t sign with the M’s. See, that’s called staying on topic.

Okay, Marty … as a pastor friend of mine says, “The key to knowing when to end the sermon is by paying attention to how many people in the congregation are coughing.” And I think we’re starting to stick in everybody’s throats.

Time to adjourn for creamed corn, Bundt cake and Jell-O with grated carrots in the fellowship hall ….

My OTTOMH-PECOTA* line for Luis Ugueto: .174 average, 76 ABs, 3 extra-base hits, .208 OBP, VORP of -39.3.

#29 — Jeff, I’m scared by the possibility that you recited that quote verbatim from memory. Either that, or really, really impressed.

The only one I can come up with is: “Hey, Annie, what’s all this molecule stuff?”

Oh, and “What do you mean, WILLIAM BLAKE??!!??”

The key with Lima is get his first five good starts out of him, then send him along on his merry way. Of course, we don’t know yet if Bill Bavasi would be that smart.

From the KC Star
“Early Saturday, Lima, who also considered San Diego and Seattle, settled on Kansas City.”

It could have been Lima Time in Seattle, but thank god, it wasn’t.
