Dan Gladdens only those who cannot speak the language any better than he can. They are few in number, fewer in brain cells, but numerous in hygienic diseases and parasites. I love baseball on the radio, but I have to turn it off whenever Danny is near the mic. What a waste of the FCCs precious airwaves.

It's just completely different. As someone who was an outfielder, albeit just at a high school and low-end college level, 98%+ of the running in a game is on defense. You might be on base once or twice a game and have to run (hopefully!) As much as 360 feet around, usually in a line or with a couple of pretty predictable turns in the middle. You run way more than that just running out to your position and back every inning on defense. Then, you have to be backing up the other outfielders on fly balls not just ones hit to yourself, and backing up the infielders on all the plays on the infield. You're basically running on every play quite a bit if you're doing a good job. And, it's much less predictable: you might have to move any direction at any given speed at any moment. It's quite a lot more dynamic stress on the joints and muscles. I 100% get where he could get a good burst a couple times a game on the bases but not be able to play the outfield. It's a huge leap up in work and stress and strain.

I'd love to have Burnes but they won't make him available now. They'll want to see how they do in the first half and then decide. If the Brew Crew is under .500 in July and the Twins aren't this will be a very interesting thread!
