Hello? Hello, Mr. Piniella? Hi, this is Matt Murton.
Matt Murton.
Ma… yes, I used to play for you.
No, not in Tampa. In Chicago. Remember me from spring training?
Yes, the ginger kid. Anyway, I just wanted to check in with you and see if you needed my help for anything around the Cubs this week.
Oh, no reason, except I heard you just hired a dead man to start in the outfield for the Cubs. I thought maybe you forgot about us down he…
No no, sir! No, sir. He’s not really dead. It’s just… he’s not very good anymore. He hasn’t hit for years and I think his defensive range can be measured by the specs on his Rascal.
