Not Dead Yet

Since the prior "Where are they now" thread got Ratto'd and the "Single Greatest Thread" sure as shit isn't the place for updates on ex-Cubs, I figure we needed a new repository.

And, what better inspiration for this than Neal freaking Cotts (que BK?)

Rangers purchased the contract of LHP Neal Cotts from Triple-A Round Rock.
Cotts hasn't appeared in the majors since 2009 but has earned a call-up with some brilliant work at Triple-A, where he's posted a 0.78 ERA and absurd 42/5 K/BB ratio over 23 innings. He'll be used in middle relief.

Cotts' last appearance in the majors was 5/25/09 for the Cubs, so, if he were to pitch today that's 1,458 days between professional appearances.

For reference, Ted Williams was in WW2 for 3 years and had 1,297 days between appearances.

Teddy Ballgame also noticed in his first plate appearance that home plate was askew, and after jawing with the umpire about it and playing on, they measured it postgame and found it was an 1/8" off.

Also, anyone notice that the guy who used to wear 22 for the Cubs has pitched only 4 more innings for Louisville than the current no. 22 has pitched for the Cubs this season? Prior has been on the DL since the end of April. In fewer than 90 days, we'll have the 7-year anniversary of Mark Prior's last postseason appearance.

Oh, fuck. Are we skipping September altogether this year? Nobody told me. Shit.

Ah, it was the simulated game postseason, in which Prior squared off against Kerry Wood in the visitor's bullpen at the Great American Ballpark in August 2006.

Karma sucks.
