There are just so many catchers in ST, now who do you think will get the most opportunities to pitch, AAA or the older pros'? Like my coach in college said one day..."Life is not fair but, God knew not to make you 6" 3"!" <br />By the way...Madson would seem to be a good pick!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-58396164023867685182014-02-12T13:22:33.498-05:002014-02-12T13:22:33.498-05:00They may be better if they are healthy, that's...They may be better if they are healthy, that's my point.

Anyhow I had to have a walker to get around for a few weeks.<br />I was trying to make a joke about it being a "walker ...but, it didn't walk"!<br />I have been out chopping wood and Ice...in fact I have the only dry & clean driveway in our small little community. As for checking my trap line...I don't trap, I shoot!<br />Have a good'un Patrick!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-5956283670292391362014-02-12T12:43:42.088-05:002014-02-12T12:43:42.088-05:00Daniel...

My problem is, if they were better than what we have in our system...why are they still looking for a home?<br />Only one guy will make the rotation, that means the other guys could work out of the Pen and gain much needed and invaluable experience. Next year we will need another strong candidate for the starting rotation.<br />Just my observation!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-27734930952355746692014-02-12T10:34:53.141-05:002014-02-12T10:34:53.141-05:00ROCKET KENNY....I have read your words for years. ...ROCKET KENNY....I have read your words for years.

There have been many, many players not only pitchers, that have good numbers on the farm and come up and become solid players.<br />It has always amazed me how players get pidgin holed at a young age and 3 years later said player is a star, somewhere else!<br />When a player is hungry, he works harder and wants it more!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-24845303461363920472014-02-11T23:00:56.658-05:002014-02-11T23:00:56.658-05:00THE TOILET, and the METS FAN......They were made t...THE TOILET, and the METS FAN......They were made to go together.<br />Today, after the Tanaka press conference, the local ESPN affiliate took calls on Tanaka's signing.<br />Open the septic tank, and run !...Because out they came, Met fans wearing their soiled diapers.<br />( I know other fans do this, but this was so over the top. So predictable.)<br /><br />I do not have to recite their stupid, low mentality rants.....you have heard it before.<br />These losers, that follow the Mets, a team that can never be linked to the word..."winning "....had the<br />bravado ( balls ) to predict Tanaka's failure, as well as the up-coming Yankee's poor fortunes.<br /><br />It was pathetic. And the idiot host, most likely an Obama voter, who also stated he hates the Yankees....egged them on. " Next caller, Irwin from Queens...does Tanaka fail ?"......" ahh, duh ?"<br />Most Met fans, and their team, will fit any store bought plunger. Common knowledge.<br /><br />I dislike the Mets, and their stooges.
