Video from the Amazin' Day press conference, which is turning out to be…not so Amazin' for us.

DAVID STEARNS: We've got a lot of great young players at the corner spots in our organization, and we're excited to give them a chance.
FANS: BOOO!!

Aside from Baty, I guess Stearns is talking about Ryan Clifford, who posted a decent .815 as a Rumble Pony while playing mostly 1B (even though he was billed as an outfielder before we got him in the Verlander trade). Nice enough (21 years old this year, a lefty), but my heart isn't exactly going pitty-pat.

UNCLE STEVIE: This is a business. Scott Boras is trying to **** us over. I don't like the negotiations, we're not going to cave. If they want to come crawling back and take OUR deal, I might be open to it…but they'd better hurry. Otherwise, I'm fine with moving on.

Uncle Stevie uses more-polite language. (Slightly.) Yikes.
Well, the blue in Toronto's unis goes with his eyes, right?
