edit: looks like its not ready yet, so 3rd or 4th inning.

I follow our minor leagues on twitter, so i constantly ask them wtf is up if someone comes out etc lol

I do not want to see him traded for guys we hope will be ready 3-5 years from now. That would just be stupid.

He's underrated b/c he's been perceived by fans (and by old-timers, according to Petro) as being soft. And this perception has been fact.

That said, he's still a solid player, and I agree that the Royals better get much in return if they're looking to move him.

Either get big-time return, or sign the dude to an extension.

**petegz28** · 06-15-2010, 06:46 PM

good hit, Maier

**DeezNutz** · 06-15-2010, 06:47 PM

Grounder to 2B and score a run.

Sure-Oz · 06-15-2010, 06:49 PM

Anyone excited to get Ankiel back in the lineup?~!11111111

**DeezNutz** · 06-15-2010, 06:50 PM

Nice AB, Yuni.

Sure-Oz · 06-15-2010, 06:50 PM

Colon would've hit that grounder to the 2b side

Sure-Oz · 06-15-2010, 06:52 PM

Didn't expect Pods to get it airborne, good job

He makes his teammates better. For example, he knows when to yell "Tag!" and "Runner!" /DM

No bullshit. He referenced the "tag" bit in an interview with Petro.

He's also Derek Jeter

**alnorth** · 06-15-2010, 06:56 PM

1 of those runs is unearned because of the passed ball. (Maier would not have scored)

Mr. Arrowhead · 06-15-2010, 06:56 PM

Mitch Maier is an improved ball player

I'm good with that.

In all seriousness, I watched some of the Super Regional against UCLA to see the kid play, and he looks like he could be solid. Also, everyone kept referencing how quickly he'll make it to the league.

I expect to see him next fall, assuming he's signed relatively soon.
