March 10, 201016 yr Why was this player never given a chance? He was in our system for a short while. Maybe someone here knows more about him... ...but from what I can tell, he hit well at every level but just hasnt gotten had a chance in the bigs. Lefty DH. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/M/Brian-Myrow.shtml

March 10, 201016 yr Author I mean, obviously DH/1B is the hardest to make a splash with. Just funny how now we need a lefthanded one, and yet they dont seem to be around. I'd be a little more OK with our current situation if we had a few minor league options from the LH side that would have more promise than Jason Botts.
March 10, 201016 yr He's not that hard to find, just pay more attention next time you're picking up your food at the drive-thru window.
March 10, 201016 yr Is this a joke? Come on seriously... is this a real question or just trying to get people to throw stuff at you?

Bryan Myrow is 33 years old and has a career AAA line of .313/.423/.528/.951 Jason Botts is 29 years old and has a career AAA line of .299/.398/.540/.938

The big thing with me is Myrow hasnt had the MLB opportunities Botts has had. But again, I admittedly am going off a career stats sheet
