"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

Good luck to him as he moves up the ladder.

How cool would if be if they opened an academy in the pacific rim or europe something overseas. I think Romero jr and Deeble are unsung talent. I believe there is a list of guys Theo is gonna poach when his 3 year ban is up.

I would assume so, but that was a question that popped into my head. Goose Gregson, of all people, spoke fluent Spanish, but he has apparently moved on from being the GCL pitching coach.

But yeah, I'd assume they'll have a few people down there who are fluent.

U.L. Washington has been there for a while so I would guess he speaks Spanish. Tom Kotchman has been coaching rookie leagues for a while too so he probably speaks Spanish too.

If they need me I'm available. I'm fluent in Dominican Spanish, Spanish in general and speak enough English to be an American citizen.
