I'll probably miss it but for those interested, Marlins Rule 5 signing second baseman Dan Uggla is a scheduled guest on Jonathan Mayo's show today. Show runs from 2-3pm.

 

Here's a link to MLB radio:

thanks for the heads up '03.

What are they saying?

hes on right now

Grew up in Tennessee. Sounds real happy to be on the Marlins. Buried in the DBacks system & sounded disappointed that he'd put up pretty good #s and never sniffed the 40 man roster there. So he's excited to have a shot here.

 

Pretty basic stuff. Mentioned he's played pretty much every position, though mostly at 2B. Knows guys like Andino & Hermida through the minors & said he's thrilled to be playing with Olsen & Johnson instead of having to face them anymore. :thumbup

So, excuse me if this has been answered before but is his name pronounced "Uglah" like Ugly or is it Oogla like "food?"

I think it's ooglah

I think it's ooglah

 

 

Awww, that sucks the fun out of it.

Why??? Now when he steps up to the plate we can all chant UUUUUUUUUUU

MLB radio has the Dan Uggla interview archived now if anyone wants to hear it.
