I also found this gem from July 2011:

Quote:
After signing SP Ricky Martinez for $260k last week, already using up most of the international signing allotment, the Raccoons continued to sign Dominican C Carlos Rosario on Monday for $7k. Well, okay, that’s not the biggest news, but the biggest remaining talent was weighing its options. Unfortunately, we ultimately ran out of money, not because the league wouldn’t allow us to throw millions at the offspring of banana pickers in the Caribbean, but because … budget. The 100% luxury tax on signings over $300k prohibited us from making another offer to outfielder Dave Garcia, who signed with the Bayhawks after turning down our $415k offer (with a $382k tax attachment).
Dave Garcia is that phenom that debuted at 19, and at 23 already has 593 career hits and 94 homers. So if we hadn’t signed Ricky Martinez, we could have signed Dave Garcia. That probably means no Hugo Mendoza trade, but let’s ignore that for a moment and let’s look at what we got instead of Garcia.

Ricky Martinez is a 23-year old left-hander that throws 97 and gets groundballs. Alright, so far that sounds a bit like Brownie.

Ricky Martinez also is a 23-year old left-hander that after all these years is stuck in AA Ham Lake, pitching to a 4-8 record and a 5.36 ERA, with 69 strikeouts barely outnumbering 58 walks in 92.1 innings. Last year, his ERA was a lot better (4.15), but he lost a staggering 21 of 29 starts. Aside of the fastball, he has little to offer. Decent curve. The changeup sucks. Why, oh why…

For comparison, Nick Brown started in Ham Lake as a 23-year old after missing most of his age 22 season to Tommy John surgery. He went 1-5 with a 3.96 ERA, 19 walks, 61 strikeouts in St. Petersburg at age 22. The following year, he blitzed AA batting for five games, striking out 39 in 33.1 innings, then moved up to St. Pete for 16 games, 9-5 with a 2.40 ERA, 156 strikeouts in 105 innings(!), then debuted in the Bigs for eight games at the end of the season, seven starts, 2-3 with a 4.54 ERA and 50 K in 41.2 innings.

Yeah, well, no comparison to Brownie. (turns up the volume on Sinead O’Connor) NOTHING COMPARES… TO YOUUU-UU-UUU…!!
