While We’re Waiting… Trick Shot Montage, Thoughts on Barnes and Starting Safeties

July 26, 2010 by 9 Comments

While We’re Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email at tips@waitingfornextyear.com

The above video was sent to us by some Columbus-based Cavalier fans.  Coupling some pretty amazing shots with the Black Keys is always a winner in my book.  The fact that they edited out a few clips due to a specific individual wearing a “Witness” t-shirt is icing on the cake.  Do enjoy.

He’s heating up… “Nick Weglarz continues to make impressive progress in the Indians’ farm system.  The 23-year-old has hit .389 over his past 10 games with the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, getting three homers, five doubles and five RBI over that span, too.  Weglarz opened the 2010 season at Double-A Akron and hit .285 with seven homers and 27 RBI in 37 games. He’s been just as good since his promotion, batting .287 with six homers and 20 RBI in 49 games in the International League.” [Indians Ink]

“Look, Matt Barnes is a good NBA player, I’d of loved for him to be a Cavalier, but like I’ve already said, he wouldn’t have been the future of Cavaliers basketball. He’d of filled a 290-pound hole vacated by the artist formerly known as number 23, but he wasn’t the long term solution.” [Stepien Rules]

And a new favorite player… “By being thrust into the third spot in the lineup from Day One it was obvious that [Carlos Santana] has the trust of the management and his teammates. There were no complaints with an unproven rookie taking over in the middle of the order.  It is shocking to see his .434 OBP and .998 OPS right now because he never came up and struggled the way other high profile prospects like Franklin Gutierrez, Matt LaPorta, Asdrubal Cabrera and Michael Brantley did when they got their first chance.  The reason he has to be my new favorite player is simple: hope. Every time Santana steps into the box I know that something huge can happen. He is the one person who is healthy who owns an at bat which is must see because of how he doesn’t give on away.” [Waves of Arms]

    How can Cleveland not get FA’s, but somehow Detroit does?

    Really not sad we didn’t land Barnes. He’s a roll player and the last thing this team needed to do was overpay for marginal talent.

    Also, Scott (if you’re out there) did I see you in Tremont on saturday? Thought it was you but couldn’t tell.

    Stin4u – Yes, I was at the Ale Fest on Saturday. Good times. Should’ve said hey, though I understand the potential downside in guessing!

    I like the one when he was on the swing the best. There are a lot of good trick shots in the video though. It probably took them forever to actually make the trick shots.

    those trickshots were awesome. i’d like to think, that if youtube existed when i was in high school, i would do cool stuff like that during my summer vacations.

    also, i miss the crap out of summer vacation.

    The Cavs have been very non-reactionary, which, in my opinion, is the perfect way to play this. Teams have been overpaying left and right (Barnes is an exception) and it’s nice to see we’re not playing that game. It’ll be a long process and they know that. We finally have a chance to see what the Cavalier youth can do now that they have a tiny bit less pressure on them.

    I may have missed this in the fray but what’s up with our trade exception? Do we have a year to the day to use that (so we could possibly use it in the first week or so of free agency next year)? Or am I making that one-year rule up? Like I said, I think I missed the logistics.

    Charlie- good question. You are not making up the one year thing, that is very real. I will do some checking but I’m pretty sure it’s a calendar year.

    Re: Exception, Im 95 percent certain that it has to be used by the end of the upcoming regular season.
