Who Was That Guy?

I flipped on Jim Rome on the way home for lunch today and, what did I hear? I heard that Ned Yost was up next to be interviewed. I thought, "Boy, is this going to be great! America will finally hear the cranky, usually arrogant, over defensive tone our manager usually gives media during interviews." After a commercial break, Rome started the interview by already awarding us tonight's game and claiming the Brewers have won six of their first seven. Thanks, Jim! He then asked Ned the usual questions you would expect from a national radio show. The unusual thing about the interview was how well Ned handled himself. At no time during the five plus minute segment did his usual tone creep in. It was almost like Mark Attanasio or Doug Melvin put him on sedatives! Overall it was a really good interview and Ned gave a shout out to just about every player on the team. He may have slipped by revealing that, when Gallardo returns, there will be three young pitchers in the rotation, with Villanueva and Parra rounding out the trifecta. Does this mean it was already decided that Dave Bush will be the odd man out? It sure sounded like it.
