Jim,

A?worthy effort at touting a young prospect and certainly sufficient to qualify you for membership in DUMP.? My heartiest congratulations.

The fact that you're woefully mistaken is, of course, forgiven.? Brad Lee is an honored member of DUMP and he's almost never right about prospects.? His real talent is convincing others of the potential acomplishments that his prospects may one day achieve.? It would appear that you share this particular talent.? Run with it....it has certainly been of great help to Brad.

As for Mr. Reimold, I've seen him play in the Arizona Fall League for at least a few years now.? Destined to be a fourth outfielder on just about any major league team other than the Nationals or the Orioles, he just might be in the right place to pull down a full time role.? But hot commodity he's not.? I'd take Wieters,?Arietta, and Matusz long before him.? And,?all three of those guys are comfortably residing on my roster.??In fairness, I would also take Tillman, who somehow escaped my grasp during the rotation draft.

That is all.

TOeFuKi??

Of course, Wieters isn't going to turn out to be even the top rookie on the Orioles this year.? That would be OF Nolan Reimold (also a member of the Calamari) who just hit the game winning home run last night against the Jays.? With a Y0 contract status and a $5 price tag, he's already becoming a hot commodity.??

Gentlemen,

Set your TIVO's, VCR's or whatever other recording devices are available to you.? In a mere two days, Mr. Matthew Wieters will make his major league debut.? Other than Brad Lee, I doubt any of us are?old enough to remember?Johnny Bench's debut in 1967.? Perhaps you recall Carlton Fisk's debut in 1969 or Gary Carter's debut in 1974.? Certainly you recall Mike Piazza's debut in 1992.? Well, its been 35 years since the last Hall of Fame catcher made his debut and 17 years since the last likely Hall of Fame catcher made his debut......until Friday.???When inducted (and assuming Mike Piazza is elected), Mr. Wieters will become only?the 15th catcher in the Hall of Fame.? The fact that you witnessed his debut?is something you'll want to be able to tell your grandchildren that you witnessed.??

That is all.
