Who are you talking about?

My career path, have you seen it?

Since Witter is the only one I’ve heard of, that’s my guess.

Not sure what to do about my screen name at this point...

This

I always thought he’d be a nice back up some day.

Mantle’s stats are well earned, dude is built like a ball player but can’t seem to play. Nice arm though.

I also thought Curry might hang around for a while, good speed and decent defense but not much of a bat.

I’m surprised they kept Lindsley much past his first rookie league appearance. Decent bat, no defense whatsoever. Came up as a shortstop and moved to left field last year. Didn’t get much playing time.

Mantle? He was drafted not too long ago.

I just checked his stats for S-K, not pretty: .218/.319/.327 I had no idea he did so poorly. He was decent in the AZL in ’08.

But way too old for rookei league.

My Bucardo is better than yours.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.

He's a distant relative of Mickey right?

like 3rd cousin or something?

Okay, I know I always joke that I don’t know who players are, but I mean it for reals this time – WHO??
