MLB Network's Intentional Talk: 12/27/11




MLB Network: Intentional Talk show

Summary: On today's show, Chris Rose is joined by Billy Ripken, who fills in for Kevin Millar. The two discuss the suspension of Yorvit Torrealba in the Venezuela Winter League, which Billy relates to the Roberto Alomar spitting incident. The guys wonder if the A's possible move to San Jose would be good or bad for baseball. A video of an injured John Smoltz golfing with one arm has both Chris and Billy impressed. They speculate if the possible free agent signings of players like Francisco Cordero or Mark DeRosa will leave teams in tears. Finally, the Angels are the subject of today's "Got Team" as the guys debate what will constitute a successful season for the 2012 Angels, what they should do with Mark Trumbo, and what will become of the Rally Monkey.
