-----------------
I think Toby ...PROMOTING TOBY G.<br />-----------------<br /><br />I think Toby G is destined to be a Sept. call-up when rosters expand as a reward for good service, and then he will never be heard from again (a pinch-running appearance or 1 blow out AB is all he will ever see). <br /><br />It is obvious in any other organization he is not even oganizational minor lg filler, but his hanging around as a 27-year old minor leaguer with a lifetime BA of .234 with the Twins is a tip of the cap to his father by the organization. <br /><br />BTW: <br />1 day on a major lg roster entitles you to full medical benefits for life. <br /><br />Much less likely than the above BUT I could even see him being a Sept. call-up for this year and next so he accrues 43 days on a major lg roster and qualifies for a full MLB pension. I would not put that beyond this Front Office.Bob Gorinskinoreply@blogger.com
