Welcome. Invite to Major League camp.

Switch-hitting 2b/3b light hitting 27 year old minor league guy.

Re: Ty Kelly

Wow, it's been over 21 years since I last set foot in my childhood bedroom.

I wonder if the people who own the house now would let me set up a YouTube studio in that room?

Plays right, left, and center, too. Suck on some of that, Ben Zobrist. You hear what that song is saying? It's saying that we don't NEED you.

Re: Ty Kelly

It's worth noting that we are in the Golden Age of Ty. By my count, there have been 41 Tys in MLB history, and fully 68% of them have played in the last decade.

Ty Tyson?
Did his parents have Tourette's?

Ty Kelly talks eating, dating, music, minor league life styling, and plays a game of Two Nicklebacks and a Creed.

Heckuva deadpanner.

Re: Ty Kelly

Statistically, looks a little like Justin Turner with more walks and a smidgen less pop.

Musically, looks like the guy from Nickelback (funnily enough), minus electricity and terrible hooks.

The biggest wonder that I take away from this is, wow, Ty Wigginton had 1,170 major league hits.

Re: Ty Kelly

I think they're pretty funny for guys dealing with the realism that even if they make the bigs, they've spent a long enough time in the minors to look at as a definitive existence in and of itself.

The interviewer is Matt Paré of the Giants system. He's done a lot of YouTubing, and isn't above lobbying for more just wages and working conditions for minor leaguers.

And he started his own dating site.

Kelly does seem exceedingly likable, and not just in a SuperJoeish capacity.

Re: Ty Kelly

He's been playing both infield and outfield in Spring Training, and doing fairly well (as much as you can tell from box scores). That versatility might just get him a spot on the major league team at some point of the season. He seems like a good kid. I'll be rooting for him to make it.
