I'm watching the Miami Marlins vs Nationals game and Tyler Moore the former MSU player hits a homerun. He's a player that gets forgotten about when we discuss pro Bulldawgs. Can we compile a list of all the current MLB and minor league MSU players.
MLB:
Papelbon
Moreland
Moore
Maholm
Minors:
Stratton
Renfroe
Frazier
Who else?
That's because Moore doesn't play much with Adam LaRoche at 1B for the Nats.
yeah he's a util guy that can play the corner OF spots and 1B, but he's not an everyday player. he's done pretty well in that role that last 3 seasons though.
Ed Easley is on the Triple A Memphis Redbirds' roster.
Yeah- and last I saw he was doing OK. I hope he gets called up in September.Quote:

When you play as a professional it is a JOB. yes it's still a game but it is a job and some guys can't handle the different aspects that come with that. I am in no way saying that's the case with Easley, just pointing out why it's such a crapshoot.Quote:
