Send In Your Questions for the Next Free For All Mailbag
We’ll have one more Mailbag before the Post Office gets shuttered for a couple of weeks while I’m on assignment. So, look into the future, and if you think there’s anything you’re going to be interested and knowing in the next couple of weeks, ask it now! Or just ask me whatever’s on your mind right now.
Thanks, as always, for what you do, Roger.
Grant Brisbee noted in The Athletic recently that the Giants' 26-man active roster is the same today as it was on opening day, and how that is a significant change from the churn we saw under Zaidi. Could you talk a bit about that? Is it all positive for the folks at AAA, or is there some downside in maybe not getting a shot? Also, is this kind of stability the norm or an outlier when compared with other orgs?
Separate question/request for you. I'd be fascinated to hear your story of how you transitioned from "corporate drone" to successful baseball writer. That's likely a stand-alone post, and it's best suited for a slow part of the year (if such a thing exists). However, if you are willing to share, I think many of us would love to hear the tale.
Hi Roger - curious what you think about Zane Zielinski so far. Know its early but he seems to be holding his own in Eugene. I know you covered him in the SS depth article but he seems to be succeeding. Just wondering if you have more thoughts on his game! Thanks much.
