Based on the poll results so far, it looks like the bulleted format will win out. So, I'm trying this format out. If any of you have suggestions on it or things you'd like to see added to this, let me know.
I want to talk about this Twitter thing. I'm not going to lie, I thought it was the dumbest thing ever when it first came out. But, man this thing is awesome. It helps so much on getting instant news! It also helps a lot with getting some information on some guys. I asked Brad Dydalweicz about his feelings on being in the bullpen and I was surprised to get a response from him.
it's not bad but I'd definately rather start
It's always nice getting a response from a player. I asked him if this was the new plan for him or if it was something temporary and we'll see if I get a response. This is the type of information I was talking about that would be great to be able to get from the FO or managers or players that could help us with further our ability to ananlyze the state of our organization and different moves that are made.
