I have a friend that plays for his father's baseball team here in Seattle, and he says that Chris stops by to help the guys and just talk to them too. He's the kind of guy you really hope makes the Majors. Yeah, Minaker is a great guy.

We gave them hell until they up and quit. I wonder, if everyone who had bad things to say about Hargrove, said them to him, he'd quit.

Many thanks for what I'm sure will be a good read. Derek,

"Do you think anyone wants J.J. Putz out there protecting a one-run lead in the ninth next Tuesday?" Yes, I'd like to see that, Geoff. I'd also like to see Morrow coming along as a starter which is more valuable than a closer regardless of the year.

Thanks for the linky-dinky to the Baker blog. Sounds like Morrow is going to be the closer for the start of the season. #5. Thanks for the linky-dinky to the Baker blog.
