The infamous Merkin Valdez has been sent back to Triple-A by the Giants. For more, check out this column by –no, I’m not kidding- MLB.com staff writer Scott Merkin.
UPDATE: From the blogger known as El Lefty Malo:
"5 2/3 scoreless innings to start his career, a funky-ass delivery that looks like the mating dance of a waterfowl, and nothing over 85 mph. Plus he has the worst baseball name ever: Noah Lowry. We're talking bagels and artificial meat seasoning. We're talking soft-spoken non-profit public legal assistance intern. We're talking a nice boy who reads the Bible. He's no Merkin Valdez, a.k.a. Pubic-Wig Oil Tanker Guided by a Drunkard". Posted by Stephen Silver at August 9, 2004 09:44 PM
