Most people don't think of this immediately when they think of college in all its Jesse Eisenberg glory, but the biggest thing that affects you here is hygiene. It's like living a reenactment of the Ninja Turtles' sewer pad, minus the rats (much love, Splinter). I spent the first day back here putting my room together, the second day detoxing it, and now the third day wallowing in fear that some teenage virus is going to sneak under my door despite all my precautions.
That's another point. When you're in your senior year at school, you don't get worshipped like the guys in Old School with every waking step you take. No, instead you feel like you're at that age where the playground suddenly became uncool. No, I don't want to jump off the roof into a swimming pool full of jello. It'll throw out my back.
Most everyone has already heard about the signings of Ian Snell, Miguel Batista, and Ramon Vazquez, so I won't expound on them any further than to say there's probably a chance one of them will made a significant contribution to the team. By significant, I really mean any contribution to the team. My money's on Vazquez. There's always a place for weak-hitting middle infielders on TLR's squad.
The topic of this post was to find a free agent that could find his way onto the team, so I'll spare any further grim details of The Life. My pick is Jeremy Bonderman, once a rising star with the Tigers and now looking for a 5th man rotation spot. Currently, the Cards have 5 spots filled, but the notorious long-relief man also has a perpetual spot on TLR's teams. I could see Bondo in that role, and, accordingly, MLBTR has noted that the Cards have shown "minor interest" in him. Jeremy isn't a groundball-heavy pitcher, so it would be a stretch to take a shot on him to compete with Kyle Lohse for a rotation spot. However, stranger things have happened, and without knowing what type of contract he's after, I'll throw him in the running for "Lackluster But Promising Late Winter Pickup."
As for me, I have some more disinfecting to do.
