I really hope that we all end up voting for Wally Cornelius as the #43 choice in the annual prospects poll. I think he's a beacon of light and hope shining from the deep fetid bowels of our farm system. His blood alcohol level is always less than the square root of his UZR, which is essential, unless you want to have some sort of Miguel Cabrera bulls**t on your hands.

What a turd sandwich. I don't give a hog splatter that he was drinking with the enemy the night before the big game against them; These are union men, men of the strongest union known to man's creation, and are above such suspicions in this day and age, at least for the sake of the continuity of this ramble; No, I'm mad that he threatened to shoot the fat kid.

See, odd reader that actually checks FanPosts, I used to be, in essence, that fat kid... Except replace Miguel Cabrera with a dope-addled skinhead, and the Chicago White Sox with long-departed punk band 'Rodney King And The Beatdowns', and I was right there, living the nightmare. I don't want to tell you any more about it. But I'll tell you that it feels the same as being pumped full of expired instant coffee mixed in a rusty can with bourbon and backwash and forced to watch each and every Bobby Crosby strikeout on a slider low and away EVER, in SLOW MOTION, while listening to the sound of a mama cat being strangled by dope fiends in the alley behind YOUR HOUSE while the baby kitties cry for milk that they will never receive.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE!

Anyway, thanks for reading my stringent analysis and I hope you all consider Wally Cornelius for #43.

He's got RBIs and sacrifice flies,
and when he steals a base,
an old Indian by the side of the road cries

He's got intangibles and lots of grit
and he outweighs David Eckstein by quite a bit

Vote for Wally!

Hell, I'm voting for him based on name alone.

my two favorite owners...

and besides, calling him “Wally Finley Cornelius” would have been too obvious.

My evil secret is that I’m not actually going to vote for him…

I’m going to vote for Sidd Finch instead!

This brings up an interesting question.

Who is the best prospect NAME in the Oakland system?

I’m a big fan of Shooter Hunt (or was it Hunter Shoot?), but we didn’t get him. Who else have we got?

It's gotta be Ladendorf.

Good stuff

You should have put it in a fanpost…or a fanshot…or whichever one this isn’t.
Actually, it is funnier here, but sadly, nobody looks at these.

F'n brilliant.

I'm here to talk about the past.
