Hey everybody and welcome to the first ever edition of the Chris Rose rotation. It's all presented to you here on John Boy Media. And I got to tell you, I am thrilled to be back because it has sucked sitting on the bench the last few months. I am back doing what I love, my passion, baseball, bringing it to you a few times a week. And the thing that, in my opinion, kind of separates the

Chris Rose rotation from other baseball podcasts out there. I've got this rotating group of active major

leaguers. So one's going to join me each and every show, not as a guest. I'm not just going to

chop it up with him for 10 or 15 minutes, which sounds great. He's going to be my co-host for the

entire duration of the program.

So we've got six great guys representing six different teams. We got some contenders,

some teams that could surprise us, some favorites. You never know. So let's see who is batting

leadoff here on the Chris Rose rotation here on John Boy Media. It is none other than the prize free agent acquisition by the New York Mets.

He is the true setup man, the former Minnesota twin.

Trevor May, I guess you're considered our opener, huh?

Congratulations.

Let's not call it the opener.

I like Lee Knopf.

Opening is not my favorite thing to do.

But leading off, I was known for my speed when it was young.

So not so much anymore, but I'm glad to be here.

Thanks for having me.

Okay.

This is going to be awesome.

It's going to be totally different.

You know, there are a lot of people out there wondering, well, why in the world would an active major league or want to do something like this and spread the gospel of baseball?

Shouldn't you just be focused on pitching and your video games?
