TransAction Friday

Please allow me to introduce myself: I'm a man of no wealth and a fat face. I might not get called up for a long, long time, but the CoBas have money to waste. I have the body type of Bobby Jenks after eating a side of beef. Or maybe I'm more Wickman-like, either way just call me "Chief."

Pleased to meet me.

Won't you guess my name?

Anyone? Anyone? Who is this guy?

If you guessed "Joba Chamberlain" it's only because you're the GM of the Consummate Bastards.

Otherwise, you are like 99.3% of Fantasy Baseball Players, Non-Yankee Fan Division and have no idea who this dude is.


Well let's see what we can find out about the chubby guy, aside from the "cost $1 fantasy dollar" and "took Derrick Turnbow's roster spot" items.

  • His father is of Native American descent (Winnebago Tribe)
  • His birth name was Justin
  • He went 10-2 with a 2.81 ERA for the 2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers
  • He was drafted by the Yankees at No. 41 in the 2006 amateur draft
  • Pre-season 2007, he was ranked at the 4th Best Yankee's Propsect and 75th Prospect Overall by Baseball America
  • According to the Lincoln Nebraska Star Journal, Joba could be called up by the Yankees as soon as today (8/3) to pitch out of the pen
Another gutsy move by the Consummate Bastards. And by "gutsy" I mean, "Chamberlain is fat."

How could you not want that face on your roster?

Only if he's the chubby, lovable batboy that picks up the splintered Wonderboy.

Shit, someone beat me to the Bobby Savoy joke. What I think is we need, like, 9 keepers, so TCBs can keep these dudes and we can see how they pan out all together on one webpage.

I like how the font gets fatter.

At $1, this could be the biggest bargain - in terms of $/SF - since the Louisiana Purchase.
