Yep, and Smith can't go tonight because of the quad.   So Wilkerson is in LF, and I guess the backup OF is Hanser?

Tried to get Gretel also but tough to get through witch waivers.

If you're not that good, you shouldn't get a say-so in what people call you.  Just be glad people are calling you at all.

It's like when Tim Raines wanted to go by Rock Raines for a few years.  Not sure if that had anything to do with his booger sugar habit or whatever but Tim Raines was a guy that could let you know what to call him.  And you would.

Stevie, really?  That's a name you have when you're a kid.  You don't, as a grownup, say...hey, don't call me Steve.  Call me Stevie.  No, you grow up being CALLED Stevie and then go..."hey, call me Steve."

Yeah, but he's always been "Little Stevie."  And it fits.

That's cause you're a slacker.

Seriously which one were you talking about Van Zandt, Winwood or Wonder?

For the record I've never heard Nicks or Vaughn called Little.

Wilkerson could platoon with Ruiz at 3B as well. I'm just not thrilled with seeing Joey Rickard everyday in CF.

I’m not either. I just don’t see him as part of the future.

Well using your powers of deduction, which one do you think I'm talking about?

Is it Wilkerson? Or Mullins? Since that's what this thread is about and all.

I would expect your lack of depth of knowledge to lead you to think of Stevie Wonder first.

But I'm occasionally surprised.  Maybe your mom is a big Springsteen fan?
