Dear Diary,

It's Brian Cashman again. I've been playing with my X-Men toys a lot lately, especially Professor X, when I realized how much I liked the name "Xavier"! I called my assistant in right away and asked him if there were any players named "Xavier" (by the way, my assistant's name is Freddy. No one else can see Freddy, only me).

So Freddy tells me there is this one guy named Xavier. I so totally have to have him! So I called my friend Nealy up and the conversation went something like this:

Me: "Nealy boy, what's up?"
Neal: "God Brian, I told you to stop calling me that!"
Me: "Say Nealy, I heard you got a guy on your team named Xavier. I have GOT to have him!"
Neal: "Xavier Nady?"
Me: "Xavier's not a lady, you silly! Give him to me!"
Neal: "He's our starting right fielder... what will you give me?"
Me: "Just gimme gimme gimme!"
Neal: "If I give you him, will you stop calling me 'Nealy'?"
Me: "Sure! You have have a Coke too! I'll let Freddy work out the details with you!" [click]

So yay! Now I have Xavier to play with! All I need now to to get Omar to give me Wagner so I can have Nightcrawler too!
