Has he tweeted yet that it's a dream come true?

That's not accurate. Different German being traded from Florida

A capable spare part. He won't be badly missed.

Sounds like MFY did pick up two different Germans. Dirk Nowitski prob next.

How much cash?

After fully grasping that his name wasn't German Gonzalez, I liked that he showed fearlessness (a.k.a. didn't get lit up) when he was brought into his first game at Pittsburgh just prior to the 2013 All-Star break in a tough situation. Soaked up his share of innings in an overused bullpen and then faded from consciousness.

I'm surprised we gave up on him, as opposed to say, that Tovar guy who can't hit his weight.

Best #71 in Mets history, BY FAR

Always liked his face. Rich and amicable... like friendly fudge.

Yankees find a way beat Curse of Feliciano, flipping Germen to Texas.

...and poor Germen is then immediately cut by the Rangers. 3 teams have given him the shove this offseason. Poor fella's gonna have abandonment issues.

There was this game we used to play back in college. Every time Gonzalez Germen got DFA'd, you had to drink a beer.

Why do I get the feeling he'll wind up back here?
|
| A Boy Named Seo Jan 21 2015 12:53 PM Re: Memories of Germs |

We got him straight up for cash from the MFY. We should almost pick him back up just because.
|
| Edgy MD Jan 21 2015 01:03 PM Re: Memories of Germs |

Well, he'd still be caught in the same roster pinch that got him dealt off. I imagine if Texas can't flip him, he still wouldn't clear the waivers necessary to offer him a minor league deal.
|
| Edgy MD Jan 25 2015 09:47 PM Re: Memories of Germs |

Texas ends up throwing money down the hole, as they had no DFA buyers like the Mets and Yanks did, and so were forced to try to squeeze Germen through waivers, which they failed to do.
