What's In A Name?
With Ball-Wonk and The Curly W already weighing in on Ryan's Church lamentable demotion I didn't have much to add that they haven't already covered. However, Brandon Watson's promotion to center field does leave me with an interesting problem.
Do I have to get a B-Dub jersey? I've gone by Watson since middle school and I'm wondering what my obligations are. That jersey isn't going to be cheap. I went through something similar when the Redskins signed tailback Kenny Watson but while I'm a devout Redskins fan I don't have tickets so I didn't feel the need to get Kenny's jersey. Also Kenny was a third string player, not a starter. I briefly contemplated getting a Matt Watson Oakland A's jersey as well, but that thought only lasted while they were in town last year.
So do I get the jersey? What if B-dub doesn't keep the job? And what's up with double zero?

The double zero's hella sweet, yo. It signifies the number of walks B-Dub will take at the major league level. Face it, the jersey... she calls to you.
Keep an eye out for the t-shirt jersey. Much more affordable and less laughable if BW's career is spent bouncing between MLB and AAA...
I'm a Watson too. Don't do it, he's not gonna be good enough to make you want to be associated with him. And the 00 looks stupid.
Scott,
The t-shirt thing isn't a bad idea. Hopefully B-dub will turn into a monster player and it won't be so bad :)
Nahhh, fade the move: wait until about 1 or 2 weeks after he is sent down, then hit up one of the street vendors for a super discount price because they want to get rid of their overstock.
