I'm really excited to have Leonard on my team.  He's way better than hootie ever was ratings-wise.  Too bad i'm for real going to have him in AAA one more season as to not **** up his development.

Don't know about way better, but he's better, and he's a lefty.  Hootie did play pre-power adjustment, however.

true - I got excited.

I stick with a full rotation in HR just because of JP Tejera...  but he is worth it.

I have a comparable low stamina guy in HR.

Don't get me wrong though, I was ****** when I saw the deal because I knew it meant more years of your Hootie-style hype.  

It really is a shame that previous owners messed up Tejera's career ERA.

I was ****** off I didn't know he was available...

I figured so... I'm thinking about having a bash bro theme with Tanner Miller as well... if his durability can hold up.  A Ruth/Gehrig type combo

To go with the one in your pants.

The one difference is that due to the free agency update, Leonard will be harder to make a career Slore.

I gave you a lolcount for that

he wasn't really - thats why I had to offer Esposito in the deal.  I was being strung along for 5 days with three different proposals out there and no answer other than I'll think about it.  I really didn't want to give up Esposito but it might have been 2011 by the time nellie decided to decline my initial offers.

yeah that will be tough. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

I am truly worried about how the FA update will affect Woodie Jacobs.  He may be the best pure hitter I have ever seen in a world I have been in and I would be pretty blown to lose him.

Tanner Miller looks like a lower durabilty equivalent of Octavio Valenzuela - http://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=2624748  He also has health issues too though, so you'll probably have to be more careful about keeping him from playing tired.
