    So Altuve, Harrell, Lyles, and Maxwell are the mlber's modeling the uniform and not Lowrie or Norris. Are they trade bait this offseason
    ? or am I just reading way too much into a fashion show.

    They weren't good. I honestly could not tell the difference between the 2. There was nothing distinctive about them at all.

    My hope is that they give Mike Capps a call. He's been the sole radio guy for the Round Rock Express since their inception. He's a phenomenal baseball guy who calls the game exactly like we all would like to think we would as fans. He's won minor league broadcaster of the year a couple of times. He would be an excellent replacement.

    You should tweet that to Luhnow. I know it's a long shot, but he seems pretty active with the fans, and you never know. He might have the right person look into it.

    May not be a secret but the new jersey is what's shown under in that pic.

    I can already spot the orange piping on the sleeve & neck, along with navy numerals piped in orange on the bottom right.

    I'll try that. Believe it or not, I had an email conversation with Drayton about it before those 2 were hired. He was very cool about it but they had already moved with Dave Dolan and Raymond Brett.

    EDIT: twitted done

    Friend messed around with exposure on iPhoto to reveal most of the uniform.

    Very generic.

    Like the orange sleeves.

    I had the same reaction, though I hid it during our meeting. They *LOVE* 'em.

    The alternate batting practice jersey is going to be a big hit - but anyone expecting *any*thing beyond a color change for the primary home/road unis is going to be *really* disappointed. They're the most generic uniforms I think I've ever seen.
