It would be good if you included links to your previous mailbags.

That way people can, um, be further informed with your earlier works.

Brad, I'd also encourage you to have links back to your blog in your stories.

How frustrating can you imagine it to be for a perceived AAA filler (Clete Thomas) to be crushing the ball in the minors and have hardly any chance at a reward/promotion?

[Brad Swanson]

Hi everyone.

 

Thanks for the feedback, I will make sure it is easier to find the rest of my madness in the future. As for the final comment, I'm going to assume that is a question for me to answer in the future, so I'll hold on to it. Thanks!

The catcher really Doumitted that 58-foot curveball.

When's his next start? Kidding!

 

Or not?

This is all I could think of during the 6th question. It's all just propaganda dude.

Thomas deserves some time up. He can do everything Ramirez can do, or if Hicks got sent down a couple weeks or a month it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I understand his upside but a .120 average is what it is so if a guy's killing it in AAA he ought to get a shot. Even if that guy is Clete Thomas.

Not a showstopper, but Thomas is not on the Twins' 40-man roster. If you bring him up, you have to remove someone else and expose him to waivers.
