(The Mirabelli trade was in 2001 I think.)<BR/><BR/>I like this, from his <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mench" REL="nofollow">Wikipedia article</A> (which also says Rangers in 1999):<BR/><BR/>"The consensus around Major League Baseball is that he has the largest head in the game, size 8. In fact, his teamates on the Rangers went so far as to create a green Shrek helmet for him to wear, although Major League Baseball would not allow him to do so."Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528300608952663063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1146085226983080322006-04-26T17:00:00.000-04:002006-04-26T17:00:00.000-04:00In listening to this A's-Rangers game,I just learn...In listening to this A's-Rangers game,I just learned that Mench was drafted by the Sox and traded to TEX in the Mirabelli trade.<BR/><BR/>Somehow this had escaped.<BR/><BR/>Of course I am bothered even more that Texeria was drafted by the Sox but opted for college instead, allegedly because his dad did not like the way Duquette treated them.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1146082700321399002006-04-26T16:18:00.000-04:002006-04-26T16:18:00.000-04:00Kind of funny the other day when Dinardo was getti...Kind of funny the other day when Dinardo was getting knocked around I wrote - "No kidding. Because, of course, Arroyo would have shut out the Jays for 8 innings and Saenez would have come in and K'd the side in the ninth for 1-0 Sox win."<BR/><BR/>Eery. Of course Toronto's lineup is a bit stronger than Washington, but still this is odd.

Last year it was the same thing - he started fast and his ERA was a full run higher in the second half.<BR/><BR/>Once he gets through the NL once, I fully expect the same thing to happen to him again.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1146081863051424352006-04-26T16:04:00.000-04:002006-04-26T16:04:00.000-04:00Hey with his Grand Salami today, Kevin Mench in hi...Hey with his Grand Salami today, Kevin Mench in his last 6 games - .500 8 R 6 HR 20 RBI.
