Yeah, thank God, SF stopped picking up retreads.  Oh wait a second, Guisman, Rodon, Cobb, DeSclafina, Wood, etc. etc. are on the phone.  I need to take that call…..

Maybe I should have been more clear in my definition, knowing your MO is to pick nits in an attempt to make people look bad.

When I say the Giants no longer sign sign re-treads I meant guys who were DFA'd by other teams during a season and signing them to pitch for the Giants during that season. The guys you mentioned do not fit that bill, but thanks for playing. Now you can just gleefully anticipate future opportunities to nail someone to the cross for actually being wrong in the future.

Reuschel and Robinson were acquired in trades and Burkett was drafted by SF.  None of them were signed after being DFA’d by another club.

You are correct. But nobody said they were either.

First, you referred to Reuschel, Robinson and Burkett as retreads, then you define a retread as having been DFA’d, now you deny having referenced those three guys as retreads (thus by your definition as having been DFA’d).  

As telegrams used to say at the end of a message.  STOP.

No, I never referred to them as retreads. Show me where I referred to any of those as retreads. I mentioned retreads and then added guys like Reuschel, Robinson, and Burkett are not Lincecum, Cain, and Bumgarner. The former would get guys out with guile and trickery. The World Series winners could physically overpower the opponent. I remember one of my friends in High School said Reuschel threw like a baby, but he wasn't a re-tread has been when the Giants acquired him. Robinson had to be held together with duct tape and baling wire. Burkett was a sinker/slider Pitcher who couldn't challenge anyone. I also did not say those guys were DFA'd and then signed.  

This is like hearing someone say Sally is a girl and wears pants, then concluding they said all girls wear pants. If you want examples of to what I refer, ask for them. I am happy to be called out for what I do and say. I'm not too keen on being called out for what I don't do and say.
