can't drink water and talk at the same time,,

this guys should be more carefull, can't play with injuries and thorn limbs,and if its your hands the ones you need most,,big trouble for those players though,,

One, this was in the news last week. Old news. Two, so glad that AA traded Taylor from the Halliday deal for Wallace, who in turn he traded to Houston to get Anthony Gose, who he wanted originally in the Halliday deal(they sent him to Houston in the Oswalt deal).

Don't know how the Astro's let go of a possible five tool player(tons of speed, use to throw 95 regularly as a pitcher in high school, just needs to develop some power) for a so-so first base prospect without much pop. Then again, I don't know how you cut yourself throwing out a piece of gum. And they thought Hatteburg was going to have trouble learning first.

New rule: All players who chew gum must wear batting gloves while in the dug out.

Wouldn't it be easier to have them just swallow the gum while in the dugout?

Playing around in the dugout has probably cost you another year at Sacramento, and at your age you cannot afford to many more years there in Triple A.
