But Manuel was wearing a wooden barrel being held up by suspenders so it made it difficult to pay attention to what he was saying. Manuel then said, “When I ask for a straw, I don’t […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jesus Guzman – Over 11 years ago, in 2000, when Guzman was 16, he signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Took a few years, but the Twins found out that youth is wasted on the Young as they sang, “May You Stay (Away) Forever, Young.” Yesterday, the Detroit Tigers became the first club to acquire both Meat Hooks.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Every once in a while, I enjoy checking in on prospects that caused my red flag alarm to chirp. One of these prospects was Josh Vitters of the Chicago Cubs.

Please, blog, may I have some more?We have officially come to the overlap week. It happens every year when baseball begins to wind down and the whole affection for drafting takes over with football.

Please, blog, may I have some more?And all the pitchers in the top 10, please allow Stephen Strasburg to bump thee. Let’s see what we can say about Strasburg that hasn’t been said before.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Justin Morneau is set to return from the disabled list today. We’ll be good if he hits 17 homers in his first at-bat back.
