One of those players you really like despite their forgettable performance.

A la Kevin Frandsen.

I second that.

Those first 10 innings he hurled for the Angels were so great.

Plus, by all accounts, he’s a really good guy.

I met him at Spring Training last year

He was very nice. As a guy who has tried to learn a second language, I’m am seriously impressed that he taught himself English in the minor leagues.

Yeah, that's pretty damn impressive.

I totally forgot about Kevin. I loved him!

The mlbtr story headline on this signing made me do a double take. Say what?

I have a secret place, inside my mind, where I keep hidden inspiration you wont find.

Good

Nice guy who provides some depth and is familiar with the organization.

I'd rather they bring back Rex Hudler

That’s the only thing left on my wish list that they haven’t done. Oh, and replace “Buttercup.”

ZOMG!!!! Is he available? What would it take to get him???

If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?

More Howie please...

Is the team that desperate?

I hope he makes the team

so I can hear the Mariachi music when he enters the game.
