I have a guy who's nickname is "Eager Beaver", a guy from Italy(yikes!) and my Manager is from Japan. Er...wonder how he feels about leading a team from Los Alamos!

[Jistic]

I have two....count 'em two players on my entire active roster over the age of 27. So of course I have to trade them.

The good news is that they are both in the last year of their contract.

I love having 37 year old position players in AA. Great use of roster space.
