JGW,

Can you hit for the Twins like Michael? I would have to put my money on NOT my friend.

Can you catch fish with this rod which seemingly has "no fish in it"? Most certainly, it is just in a slump and will shortly come out of it. It just needs a few more "at fish" attempts to be successful.

On the other hand, if it doesn't come around you can send it to me for some work in the minors. As soon as it has learned and comes out of the slump I will gladly send it back.

Helpfully yours,

Rick
