Who's Vargas gonna replace, Tim Lincecum? They're not giving up on Tim. Barry Zito? They owe him too much money, and it's not that much of an upgrade. Naah, that rotation's pretty set.
I think I know what Churchill's getting at, though: the Giants want an RH RP, and rumor has it they're taking a long, hard look at League. If League is the 25-man guy going then I'm all over that deal, and I can maybe see it happening (the Giants FO ain't all that bright, relative to ours, and they've long denied Belt his chances).
As for the player evaluation: I know basically nothing about traditional scouting, good swing mechanics, etc. except what I read here of course. I'm a SABR guy with a head for numbers, not a video-analysis whiz: I grabbed Kolten because dem's some shiny numbers at the same position as Miller on a team that was rumored to like Vargas, and hey, Sickels loves him too.
As for the sailor's tongue, I'll try to keep it down. A oceanic family, plus extended time on LL, have given me some (shall we say) habits.
