Oh I remember that. I loved Seager. I actually spke to him at spring training one year. he was by the batting cages on the other side of the fence, and I brought my grandson who was about 1 at the time. Seager squatted down and just talked to him for about 5 minutes. He didn't have to. He was in dad mode which is great to see from players. I saw so many who were just asses. He was far from that.
Spring training is rad. I spoke to don wakamatsu and Mike Sweeney in 2010, got a Felix autograph. Got a whole bunch, Matt tuiasosopo

Andres Munoz? I know we traded for him but he was injured
I bet there’s more
Who was that reliever we traded to Toronto for teoscar

I think most are referring to position players, and more specifically, decent MLB hitters. That list gets awfully tiny when you take out relievers.

Awesome! I lived there from '08-'16 and went every year. Even went down in I would say 2003? I have dozens of autographs but can't read 90% of them now...lol. I do have Wakamatsu's. Got Greg Halman's before his tragic death. Nice kid.

I was at the practice field when Sweeney was razzing a rookie 1B. The kid had no clue what a rototiller was, and Sweeney made sure everyone knew it.

The nicest guy was Mike Morse. My wife, daughter and I were the last ones by the fields and we were just walking around enjoying the day. We thought all the players were gone then we heard a gate clink. Out came Morse. He walked right up to us and just started chatting. We told him Griffey had just signed to come back, and he hadn't heard yet. he was so excited. he says, "Maybe I can get a pair of his cleats form him now". He was serious. He walked the entire way back with us to the clubhouse just asking us questions like we were neighbors. Never forgotten that.

I was referring to his hittters club. Robles has only played 87 games and Tavares about two weeks. No credit yet.

I liked Mike Morse. He was one of my favorites. And Michael saunders

And the slide continues. Dan Wilson is BRUTAL as a manager. I said what I said. Same thing every damn year..... Come on Football!!!!!
I truly tried to stay positive and enjoy. I just can't any more. I've seen enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they finish in 3rd place. I'll watch from time to time. I'd rather enjoy the summer. Fork.
