Completely Random Prospect Watch: Stefan Welch

Today I discovered that the Bisons made a few transactions - namely, Cervenak was placed on the DL and Santos was sent down to Binghamton as Shawn Riggans came up (I'm not entirely sure why - perhaps it has something to do with that reputation Santos has as not being the best game-caller in the world). I went to NY Future Stars to look Riggans up

Argh, all the wee Giants I'm interested in are in Fresno. But--Flying Squirrels? Really?

[blinding_voip]

Hey, it's better than the Biscuits!

I LOVE THEIR MASCOT. It seriously makes me laugh until it hurts.

[1863_project]

Really. I don't even know. I think the fans even got to vote on the name or something...

[cornerinfielder]

LOL, I voted for "Flying Squirrels." It was better than "Richmond Hambones."

[1863_project]

Hambones was seriously an option? Oh, God. (They should've gone with one of the LSJUMB's rejected mascots and called themselves the Steaming Manhole Covers.)

[cornerinfielder]

Oh my goodness. YES. Richmond Steaming Manhole Covers has a fantastic ring to it.

[1863_project]

Should I call them that tonight when I'm there?

I'm going to Fresno in two weeks to go see the Grizzlies play! I was gonna do some amateur "scouting" and write it up on my tumblr. If you want, I can keep an eye out for certain players.
