He brings back such good memories for Brewers fans. I guess when a career in baseball no longer looks viable, there's always the Pirates.

The early hatred of Betancourt doesn't hold a candle to my feelings for this clown!

They'd be better off signing...

The thread title gave me a laugh...until I followed the link in the lead post and saw how awesome Jorge was for the Bridgeport Bluefish last year. Shudder!

I wonder if he can play shortstop? Perhaps we can work out a trade.

This reminds me of how during the 2009 off-season, Julio was Melvin's only signing for what seemed like months. He was signed during the winter meetings, and for many weeks on brewers.com, there was an annoying audio news segment about the signing. Like it was some huge deal that would put fans in seats or something...
