Is a "Minor League Field Coordinator" the dude that chalks the field before the game...?

Holding junk is cool...

Nice Chuck... You both should be proud...

If I was the father of any one of those girls.... I'd have already killed myself...

Then there's that...

something, something, Don Baylor...

Todd Greene Dallas Macpherson Vernon Wells Pitchers: Ismeal Valdes Fernando Rodney Scott Kazmir Brian Fuentes

That list is sorted by "true distance" per day...

You mean that dude from Survivor!?!? I thought he was cool - and his wife was a gem...

Wow... REALLY... so you must have covered him after he left Cleveland and a clubhouse that contained Joey Belle...?!?!? (I remember he had that one year with the doyers...) I believe you Jeff... not arguing... but that's saying A LOT...

A-Fraud... hands down... Any dude that goes White Goodman and starts hanging paintings of himself... come on neyow...

Has Revere ever batted in front of Mike Trout...?

I signed in just to "Like This"...

Yes... And do you notice that the furniture has been removed from that room so as to allow space for the photo shoot... wait a tick... is that the bed they're straddling...

Swimming buddies... off the island...?

What took them so long...?!?! Nice to see our organization is at the fore and keeping up with changing times...

However you vote... the good news is - that's an impressive list of good moves...

Todd Greene anyone...?

Surprised Brien Taylor wasn't on that list...

Vernon Wells Jeff Mathis Gary Matthews Jr. Joseph Blanton Moo Vaughn Ken Hill Ismael Valdez Fernando Rodney Robb Quinlan Scott Kazmir Brian Fuentes

That's not that far off... Darling can almost pitch as well as Trout...

Darling's not good, and it's made worse with that accent... Don't know how Ripken is - didn't hear him say much...

+1...

Sentimentally I want KC... but as an Angel fan - I want Oakland... KC's bullpen is so scary - and cuts a game to 5 innings (kinda reminds me of the Angels in 2002 with Shields, K-Rod, Percy)...

1 - So, in my book, he's #3 on this list (which isn't position-specific) - the top two are immaterial cheaters... 2 - His OPS compared to other All Star/HOF SS is ridiculous... 3 - He has an entire portfolio of clutch performances on the biggest stages (ALDS, WS, post-9/11...) 4 - In this era of poor-character-quality athletes, I put a premium on guys that go about their business, act like professionals and don't beat or cheat on their wives, do drugs or take steroids, or act like Jr. High aged children between the lines... 5 - Longevity means something in my book. You don't stick around in this high-priced business unless you add some perceived value by a good number of individuals in coaching and management... 6 - When I think of "icons" of the MLB franchise over my lifetime, I think of guys like Ripken, Schmidt, Brett, Pujols, Jeter, Maddux, Chipper, Pedro... I realize some of that perception is shaped by the media, but there's a lot of commonality among those names (I almost put Molitor and Griffey on that list, but...). Closer to home we have Nolan, Salmon - and Trout someday... I'm not a Yankee fan, but I don't understand all of the energy expended by Jeter detractors at present. He's one of the greats. He's earned the adulation and retrospect of the past few days...
