You really think that the few extra hits (assuming that Munson gonna hit all year like he's doing in ST, which I refuse to assume) are worth risking his mishandling of Backe or Wandy or Taylor? I don't.Here are?Munson's lifetime stats (from thebaseballcube)Jeff Bagwell isn't the only guy off the roster.Pitchers Ezequiel Astacio (yeSS), Joe Valentine and Dave Borkowski, (so WHERE is Sparks and WHY hasn’t he been released?!) were sent to A along with replica Baume & Mercier 8695 Men's watch Charlton Jimerson, Luke Scott (who was decent, but not on fire like last year), Danny Klassen (who is injured anyhow, and catcher Hector Gimenez.Josh Anderson should be at AA.It looks to me like Taveras will make the 25 man and play center, with Preston Wilson in left, Jason Lane in right and Lance Berkman at first.
I was very disappointed that Bert Blylevin missed admission by 5 votes.Must be tough to get 74.9% close but no cigar is cold comfort after 13 years.I was also disappointed but not surprised at the BBWAA ignoring Tim Raines again.He made the bad mistake of refusing to swing at bad pitches and taking a walk to get on base instead of replica Longines L4.209.4.87.9 watch getting out.And, of course, of playing at the same time as The Rickey and playing in some other country nobody never heard of, to boot, instead of Boston/NY/Chicago, where all the good players at.Hope they, and Alan Trammell all get in next year because 2012 is going to have at LEAST 5 no doubt about it HOFers in its new class I can't count.
Only question is, will Phil get his way and have Eric Munson as backup catcher a guy who hasn’t caught since 1999 in college? You think that Roy or Andy is gonna agree to be caught by a guy who hasn’t caught in 6 years? So a guy who is the replica Baume & Mercier 8522 Ladie's watch rookiest of rookies is gonna be catching the 4th and 5th guys, which is NOT good.I’d rather see either Quintero or Chavez at least they know what they’re doing behind the plate, even if they don’t know what they’re doing in front of it.Besides, Phil can pinch hit for them if he has to.Let's look at the latest stats:
