I got mine here:

I don't know whether there are any more like that there. Consider me still puzzled that the Canadiens traded him for Matt Workman and two scrubs.

Imagine the Canadiens with Osanai and the Furballs without Osanai. No contest. He's costing a run here and there defensively, but halfway through the season (I've already completed one more week) he's on pace for 40 HR, 144 RBI. And batting frickin' THREE-NINETY???

There've been times, two Coons first basemen's averages together wouldn't have added up to that!

That also means he's irreplaceable, so if he breaks one of his enormously gigantic legs, we're in for a tumble in the general direction of .500

By the way, that trade for Movonda can't happen anymore this year. The Falcons have no poorly playing veterans with moderately expensive contracts on their roster, which we could cover with cash and prospects. That was a BIG MISS that will come to haunt me in the future.
