Don't call me Jairo!
Interesting news... Santiago Casilla. He's also aged 2 years. To me, that doesn't matter that much for pitching prospects (especially relievers), but it probably knocks him down a peg on the prospect list.

I wonder if they are going to officially change the name or if they are just going to stick with Jairo. It is a pretty cool name...

Annoying news
by ohad on Jan 27, 2006 10:04 AM EST 0 recs
After this much time ...
Ohad, while your posts aren't hyping his abilities that much, I think this is what people are talking about when they cite "excessive A's homerism" on this website. It's a discernable theme:
-- an unyielding optimism about a player or the good side of a situation or a deal
-- a presumption that Billy did it, so it must be good (doesn't really apply in this case)
-- and rarely an acknowledgment of the risks, negatives or flaws of a specific player, situation or deal.
My two cents.

don't get it
All i said is at least he came forward and didn't get caught. Didn't say "wow, even though he lied i have a supreme amount of respect for him. What a great guy. Coming forward all by himself? Sheesh!"
All i'm sayin is that it's better than being caught.
Don't really see where you're coming from.

Not just two years
Basically three, crazy. When/Why did he come forward, anyone have a link about that? I guess he figured he'd proved himself enough he'd be wanted at any age.
At first i thought the gubmit caught him and i though that was a little rare now, i though most all of the age checks had been caught a few offseasons ago. Is this assumption true, has anyone else been caught recently? The last big case i can think of is Adriano Rosario/?? Pena moving up 2 years and that was, i think, in the 03-04 offseason. Have any minor cases come up?
