Dream Weaver?
From my brother, who appears very fond of the word vast. I was previously unaware of this particular quirk of his, but I suppose there are worse ones.
According to today's Newsday, the Yankees have offered Jeff Weaver to the Dodgers for Kevin Brown.The hope is that the Dodgers would be willing to gamble that the younger and cheaper Weaver realizes his vast - I say VAST, got that? VAST - potential. The Dodgers would save about $9 million this year and $6 million next year, enough to ink some help for their offense.
The Yankees would be free of the headache that is Weaver and convert what's now a lost spot into the rotation into a productive spot without having to give up someone like Nick Johnson.
BTW, did I say that Weaver has VAST potential? That's VAST with a capital "V", which rhymes with "P", which stands for potential.
VAST!!!!!!!!!
It's hardly a secret that I would be more than happy to see Weaver off the Yankees, so I consider this a good short-term move. But I'm sorry, everybody knows that "P" stands for "pool". Robert Preston is rolling over in his grave.

The Yankees can do what they want with Weaver - they can't have Shigetoshi Hasegawa! He belongs to the Mariners!
Bad Yankees! Bad! Take your VAST payroll and go away! No more stealing Mariners players!

To me, it sounds half-vast at best.
