Memories of Jake Hager

Brewers claim the guy who needed 10 years to reach the majors and about a week to be DFA'd. Heartwarming story for a minute.

That was the least surprising news possible sadly. The team is not only losing guys hand over first to the IL, but hemorrhaging roster occupants every time they have to add a replacement. Played three games, and according to IMDB, three different positions. Apparently, being sent in to pinch run for Nido in his last game (the 12-inning win over Miami) qualified as an appearance at catcher, according to the DB.

I'm mildly annoyed that they choose Tovar over Hager. Hager has the better bat and can play more positions. No one would have claimed Tovar.

Tovie has MLB experience. He's a known quantity. That means something to somebody. I mean, Hager had never even been on a 40-man before.

"Tovie"? He's on a cute name basis with you (I'm just wondering)? And he stinks, even on this team as presently constituted. Not even a team in the Korean League would want him. At least Hager isn't horrible at hitting.

Yes, he's my Tovie. And I'm his Edgy.
