So I'm seeking opinions here. Next week the newly drafted/signed players will be showing up and I actually can request a player. Who do you think I should request? I was thinking Brandon Belt if he signs since I prefer position players over pitchers (they tend to be a bit nutty) and his birthday is the same as mine. I'm wide open to thoughts or suggestions, of course it's all conjecture till they sign but what the hell.

Chris Dominguez! You can ask him about the time he made the Missouri Tigers cry with all his taunting.

Ryan Mantle

I think there is a good chance that Ryan Mantle will be in SK this year. Just talking about his famous relative might be interesting.

I've heard

That Rafael Rodriguez might be there this season. You could say “I knew him when he was 17”. Of course, who knows if he speaks English?

LOL

excellent point. He is Dominican so he’s probably like 26 and can speak fluent English, French and classical Russian.

I’ve always wanted to do something like that, but have never had the means to do it.
I would think you’d want to get someone who is not your polar opposite, you don’t want him “growing up” to be famous and then telling the world what a weirdo you are.

I’d try for Kyle Mach, 3B from U. of Missouri. His grandfather won a World Series ring with the Cardinals. Maybe he’s heard some good stories about baseball players, stadiums, fans, etc.

Brian Bocock

he might be there soon at the rate he’s “improving”
