I picked up my second 2011 Allen & Ginter Glossy, and it's of the one and only Matt Kemp. This sweet card of The Bison pairs nicely with the Glossy Russ Martin I snagged a while back.Numbered 905/999, this newest addition to my Matt Kemp Collection rang in at $1.98 shipped via the Bay. I'm down to just needing the Kershaw Ginter Glossy, but the prices on eBay have been too rich for my blood thus far.I've come to the conclusion that Ginter is the most American of all of the various releases we see each year. But not quite as American as Flynt Flossy. Turquoise Jeep....I've been Keeping The Jeep Ridin' since 2011.

Los Angeles Dodgers Take Nobody In 2011 Rule 5 Draft, Lose Tom Melgarejo

Via ChadMoriyama.com  |  December 10, 2011
The 2011 Rule 5 Draft was held on Thursday, and the Los Angeles Dodgers were unsurprisingly inactive in its proceedings, abstaining from taking a single player in the MLB, AAA, and AA phases.
