There's a new feature going through MLB.com called "Batting Around" in which beat writers pick a minor leaguer and ask them interesting questions. I think they stole this idea from me, which will teach me to trust my PDA with my thoughts. But the one on John Gall is really funny. Lots of interesting tidbits: Gall likes to cook, likes Gossip Girl (almost a deal-breaker), etc. Read the whole thing, but here's my favorite part:
MLB: If you could trade places with one person for a day who would it be and why?
JG: (Houston Astros GM) Ed Wade. So I could put myself on the Houston Astros' 25-man roster.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
