Waiting at the scrap heap

And wondering who we'll salvage.

This is the time of year when Brian Cashman roams the distant scrap heaps, sifting through the garbage for discarded husks of tin or plastic, which could be repaired, buffed and polished for re-use.

Somewhere out there, in a municipal salary dump, Yankee scouts right now are weighing in their hands an old, weathered chest and thinking, "Hm-mm, could we use this?

"It would go well with Brett Tomko...

"Scranton could use these hinges...

"Don't we have an option on Cody Ransom...?

"Look! Now, who would throw out an original Chad Moeller?"

Best comment of 2008 came from Chad Moehler when he said he just ran into the scout that signed him. He said, I can't believe he's still got a job, I mean the guy signed me.
