:x :x

The nerve of that guy, drafting Selkirk! Lousy Canadians. What good are they when they go around stealing your leftfielder without any advance warning or notice.

:?



I did some research and found this:


[color=red:14b5069db1][b:14b5069db1]Mink[/b:14b5069db1][/color:14b5069db1]
[i:14b5069db1]Mustela vison [/i:14b5069db1]


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[b:14b5069db1]Description[/b:14b5069db1] - This sleek-bodied animal has a lustrous, chocolate brown to black fur with white spotting on the chin and throat. The tail is long and bushy. Often preaches the virtues of OBP. Average weight is 1-4 pounds, the size of a small housecat,the male being heavier than the female. Can grow into an annoying and fearsome SOM competitor.

[b:14b5069db1]Distribution[/b:14b5069db1] - The mink occurs throughout all of Canada along rivers, creeks, ponds, lakes and marshes. Some retreat to Florida to enjoy the other Bush's fine leadership and an occasional hurricane.

[b:14b5069db1]Biology[/b:14b5069db1] - They prey chiefly on muskrats then mice, rabbits, chipmunks, fish, snakes, frogs and birds and are known to raid poultry houses and available leftfielders. Occasionally, they will steal a Selkirk from you. Foxes, bobcats and Nevdully are known predators. They den near water in abandoned burrows and move often. In the spring 3-6 young are born blind and naked. The pelts are highly valued; most of those used commercially are raised on ranches. They are currently on PJ Axelsson's highest order of the weasel list.

Sounds like one of those secret societies, "The High Order of the Weasel!" :lol:

If you only knew how many hours I have spent staring at the same list of players as a very slow draft creeps along, [i:c40ced4ef3]assuming[/i:c40ced4ef3] that Selkirk would be available late...


:evil:

I used to take him a lot but I had so many injury problems with him I've avoided him for some time. He seems to be left in the FA after most of the drafts I've been in lately. On the other hand he has consistantly put up good numbers for me.

Let's hope Penn gets the injury riddled version, not my version that routinely pops out a 1.000 OPS.
