The Player to be Named Later

I believe Guillermo Mota had to go through a similar process to this. Go for the gold, Guillermo!
Heh. A friend and I went a Pawtucket Red Sox hot stove event today, where they had a couple of question and answer panels, one of them featuring the man who is now officially the happiest man in Pawtucket, Manny Delcarmen. It was held in the indoor batting cage, and there was this big stack of boxes and furniture on one side of the room that was handy both for my friend to use as a makeshift desk for taking notes, and for me to lean on. As the session ended, I wondered aloud about the furniture and stuff, and she pointed down at the boxes to show me that they were all labeled "Shoppach." And that's how I know that Kelly Shoppach owns an ironing board.
