I'd like to draw all of your attention to a couple of sites. The first is Houyhnhnm Land (no, I don't have any idea how to pronounce 'Houyhnhnm' or what it means), a resource for the study of early modern thought created by Brandon Watson (of Siris fame). I have just finished my first post to the Houyhnhnm Land guest blog, "Berkeley and Ordinary Objects" . In the future, I plan to cross-post everything,...

If there's one area of GM work where Pat Gillick has excelled with the Phillies, it's finding cheap/free talent. In addition to purchasing Chris Snelling last week, Gillick might have panned more gold in signing a half-dozen minor-league free agents , led by outfielders Brandon Watson and Michael Restovich. While both players might well wind up starring for the triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs, they'll...

The Nats activated Robert Fick from the bereavement list, optioning Brandon Watson back to Columbus. So much for giving him a chance. Although I guess 18 ABs is about as long as this team can institutionally stand to go with one option in center. Fick's return makes him (gulp), the team's primary pinch hitter, and he'll try to improve on his .217 batting average and his .253 slugging average.

Ah, Bowden got his transaction jones for the day! (Here's an Orioles link with the info, just to piss you off.) The Nats activated Luis Ayala, called up Chris Schroder and (officially) Brandon Watson. To make room, they designated Winston Abreu and Levale Speigner for Assignment. (Fick's move to the bereavement list creates the third roster spot) Abreu has been terrible lately, allowing runs

Brandon Watson's call-up is likely a short-term solution with Robert Fick on the bereavement list, but it's interesting in that with the team souring on Nook Logan and Alex Escobar's most recent injury, he'd likely be the next OFer called up. Manny Acta has said that he'll give Watson time in CF while he's here, so they can get an idea of what they've got with him. (That they do that when

After the game, I checked my email, and I had two emails from loyal blog readers kvetching about our good friend Nook Logan, wondering why he continues to sit on the roster, stealing playing time from players who stink, but not as much as he does. Damed if I know. Damned if I know. Brandon Watson's International League Record 43-game hitting streak ended tonight. Congrats to him. It's really
