This has been a fantastic thread. In honor of the new home run king, I wanted to repost his first appearance with a little context following the LCS chokejob:

I'm just kidding, we can't afford anyone good. I'll try and pick up a decent LOOGY later in the offseason, or maybe we'll find a decent cheap veteran 1B or 2B to come into ST.

We have an interesting situation, kid. It's gonna sound crazy, but hear me out.

I floated Williams around, and found the Phillies. They offered Matt Wallner in exchange for Williams and Ramon Perez. Wallner is a monster goddamn loving bat. He's currently the #13 overall prospect, and he's got a legit 75 power tool. He's hammered AAA the last two years and is more than ready for the bigs...I have no idea why the Phillies didn't have him up last year.

Amusing note: it looks like Wallner could be a halfway decent pitcher in addition to playing 1B and either corner in the OF.

How many people are still alive in Philadelphia’s office after that fateful move?

Depends how many recognized the Babe Ruth parallels.

Holdout by the player, Cronyism by the league office and accused of being Jewish?
