Back from Augusta this afternoon, I see I am again chasing other people’s tail lights. At least here I have an excuse, having been knee deep in azalaeas for the better part of a week.
Anyway, John Dellapina is “reporting on his blog”:http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/rangers/ that the Rangers have locked up Thomas Pock for a two-year deal worth $1.33 million. This is good news for those who want to see the Rangers invest in their young assets; and somewhat surprising news given that Pock had been underutilized earlier in the year, and may have been able to fetch some more tempting offers elsewhere. But Pock has come into his own in recent weeks, and the Rangers apparently didn’t want to lose him.
Meanwhile, one last curious nugget before I go. Last Wednesday, my stellar fill-in Josh Thomson received some abuse on this site for not posting an earlier update that day. There are a couple of reasons why this was ill-advised. For one, Josh did a phenomenal job filling in for me, to the point that I wonder if I can match up now that I’m back.
But here’s the real kicker: last Wednesday was the day Josh was in the process of getting engaged, so for at least one day, catching you up to speed on Fedor Tyutin’s knee probably wasn’t a priorirty.
Well done, Josh, and congratulations. Us pathetic married guys are happy to welcome you to the fraternity….
