This season has been one of several ups and downs but still overall very positive. We have also rearranged our team quite a few times, I read in an article recently that we have something like forty plus roster moves. This includes moving people up and down along with putting guys on and taking them off the disabled list. I get a kick out of it when a little kid comes up to a new player and asks him to sign their picture in the program and he has to try and explain “Sorry kid, I’m not in there yet.” Does this get old or is it hard to settle in as a team? Not really actually, you kind of get used to it and at the end of the day you still have to go out and do your job. There really isn’t time for worrying if the new guys like the same movies you do. Plus, when you spend the majority of every day with the same people, you get to know your teammates pretty well, and sometimes too well. I’ll admit it’s sad to see you’re friends leave but that’s the nature of the business. As long as when playoffs roll around everyone gets along, and more importantly is playing well, that is all that matters. So for the fans, even if you can’t recognize the same faces on the field, the team is still the same and no matter what, tomorrow baseball will be played with or without people you know.
