Of all furniture, benches are the only firiture that can be ordered online, as they are quite small, and at the same time can be packaged to a size that postal service can handle.

Ask all of them if any of them feel worthy of carrying Whitey Herzog’s jockstrap?
No, seriously, since in today’s world of sabermetrics we know that all managers are irrelevant to team success, ask them how they feel justified taking millions of dollars in salary that could better be spent on a utility infielder hitting .215 with no power.

Dusty, don’t you think Milton Bradley would be the perfect type of ballplayer for you to serve as mentor?

Bobby, it looks like you may have an enviable overabundance of (potential) late inning veterans if Soriano sticks around. That said, what’s up with 2010′s payroll, and how is that going to dictate (potential)productivity from the outfield positions? Diaz, McClouth, and WHO?

When Gardenhire is available…ask him the chance that Mauer is batting 2nd next season.

To Ron Washington:
1) Assuming that Pudge is with the team next year, how do your three catchers line out at this point? Do we go back to trying the Teagarden backed by Pudge with Saltalamacchia as emergency catcher/backup at first/pinch hitter off the bench? Or is there another plan?
2) Are you thinking rotation for Feliz or Wilson? If so, which one? Or do they stay in the pen as setup/closer, and in which order?
3)What is Rusty Greer’s future function with the organization since he didn’t get the hitting instructor’s position?

hey, see if you can get Torre to tell one of his Bob Gibson stories! We don’t hear those nearly enough!

To Dusty: what is your obsession with putting speed guys who cant get on base at the top of your order? They cant “make things happen on the bases” if they cant get there.
If you asked that you would be my hero, Craig.
