Every single MiLB free agent should be calling Chris Getz as this is BY FAR their best chance at playing on an MLB roster this year and getting that sweet paycheck, pension, and insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Looks like a repeat of last offseason and more loss of credibility. Is this a major league franchise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has neither played for the Royals nor is he a mid-30s "leader". That alone makes it different from last year. He's a minor-league journeyman at this point. Adding infield depth in the minors is rather important when you are likely to have guys like Ramos, Montgomery, and possibly Sosa who move up and down between the minors and the big leagues.

They all went to the same HS as Reid and Parker Detmers, Jayson Werth and future 1st rounder Cam Appenzeller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARY, N.C.—Phillip Maton ran track at Eastern Illinois, and his wife Ellen played volleyball there. While their second-oldest son, Marc, ran track at Southeast Missouri State, the other three boys, Phil, Nick and Jacob, have turned the Matons into a baseball family. “I kind of stuck to baseball from an early age, and they kind of in turn followed,” said Phil, the oldest Maton boy. On June 11, the Matons gathered around a computer at their home in Indiana and watched as Phil, a righthanded reliever, made his MLB debut with the Padres. They traveled to Wrigley Field the next week to see him pitch in person. Two days after Phil made his debut, Nick, the third-oldest, was drafted in the seventh round by the Phillies. In his pro debut with short-season Williamsport on June 27, he made a diving catch at shortstop for the last out of the game. Jacob, the youngest, just finished his junior season at Glenwood High in Chatham, Ill. He had his moment competing at the Tournament of Stars at the USA Baseball National Training Complex this week. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/maton-brothers-work-together-to-shine-on-diamond/ Edited December 5 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
