    As of now, #12 is Alberto Gonzalez. But of course he was reassigned

    Pudge has #12.

    Alberto Gonzalez (former #12) was traded to the Nationals

    it's very legit because if you vandalized it by putting in something else, it'd get removed very quickly.

    Yeah, the Yankees wanted him for the situational lefty which they never replaced in the pen this year. AQnd the Joba thing worked itself out because Farnsworth stepped up and did the job. Maybe you have lost track on what this discussion is about.

    Right, they're going to waste Marte's talent as a LOOGY, even though he's even more dominant against righties. I'll have some of what you're smoking, please.

    And, yes, the Joba thing "worked itself out" because someone stepped up and did the job. It happened to be Farnsworth. They have plenty of options. Edwar, Veras, Robertson, Marte, Bruney, whomever... trust me, you're not going to miss Farnsworth.

    *smacks forehead*

    I can't believe I even had to say that.

    lol Wiki legit. I am the assistant to the dean of students at a college. Do you have any idea how many students first get caught first trying to plagiarize it second how many get failing grades because they get faulty information from it.

    dude, I'm telling you it's legit for 95% of the stuff. Vandalism like changing someone's birthday or number gets changed back immediately.

    People plagiarizing it are stupid.

    Obviously you can't use wikipedia as a academic source but its a good jumping off point.

    it's meant as a secondary source, not a primary source. Like Phyr said, it's good for what it's intended to be used for.

    It's not intended as "Oh, I need to write a report on X? I'll just copy it off the Wikipedia page."

    So Detroit's replacement for Pudge (basically, the guy who catches when Inge plays 3rd) can't hit at all. Dane Sardinha. .100 hitter. 3/30 this season. 3/35 career.

    Meanwhile, Farnsworthless has a 6.35 ERA. Great trade.

    Inge is the starting catcher, Guillen is the normal starting 3B so your post is pretty inaccurate. Sardinha is basically the backup.
