The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly agreed to a deal with former White Sox and Angels pitcher, Awful Crap. Financial terms of the deal have not yet been released, but it is believed to be a 1-year deal with a club option for a 2nd year.
Awful Crap, 29, was 14-8 with a 4.90 ERA in 2008 while pitching for the Angels. He is good for 200 IP every year, but teams had been reluctant to sign him because it was 200 innings of shit.

Did he change his name?
The Twins were rumored to be looking at him. Thanks for getting there first, Dbacks!
Nick P. is way more efficient with his wordsmithing.
Do we have a picture of Awful Crap?
CRM, yes he did. Right after 2005.
roman, I’ll get you one after lunch.
Fixed..we like imagery around here Happy.
Thanks Rex.
Fetch: They needed to save the money for Kubel (ouch).
You can never go wrong with that one. That image should accompany every post.
nick, they could do a lot worse (wily taveras). They’re just signing guys to prove to joe mauer that they’ll throw money around.

Awful Crap helped get us a ring.
4 years ago. Wasn’t Rusty Greer still playing back then?
4.90 ERA against the AL is good for 3.9 against the NL. Better than nothing. Though they’re going to regret not spending the money on RJ when they had the chance.

No doubt Taveras sucks, but he has a very similar projection to Kubel, and we’re paying him 1/2 as much.
Fixed for clown purposes
anyone seen RockNRolla? loading up the ipod for my flights.
but Nick, Kubel isn’t going to see the outfield, so he won’t have negative defensive value
True. But you still get a big knock on positional value as a DH.
Guys are we arguing over who has the less shitty speedster with no plate discipline? Wow.
RockNRolla was good shit.
Fetch: When are the results of arbitration hearings supposed to be?
M’s trade Roman’s boy Heilman for Ronny Cedeno and a prospect. No word on prospect’s name.
Nick I think they’re early february.
Nick: it was cedeno and Garrett Olson
Can they trade him already?
goddamn, i couldnt even sway you social retards into a movie tangent? fuck baseballing.
thanks, crm. downloading now.
I guess that means the Peavy to the Cubs deal is dead. I think Garrett Olson was going to be one of the keys to that thing. Padres like him for whatever reason.
Fuck I have to move up my post…I had it set for 3
