D.U.M.P." debate, we witnessed the demise of <b>Byron Buxton</b>'s career. To my friend Dennis: I only hope that Rochester meets Round Rock in the AAA World Series, so you can have the satisfaction of seeing Buxton high-five Joey Gallo during pre-game warm-ups.<div><br></div><div>In any event ... the question remains "to <b>Bean</b> or not to <b>Bean</b>," and <b>Byron</b>'s demotion made me think of the USML favorites who came before him -- many of whom have names that begin with the letter "<b>B</b>."</div><div><br></div><div>So "<b>B</b> is for <b>Bean</b>," and a tip of the hat to <b>Brandon</b> Wood, perhaps the USML's most overrated (and overtraded) prospect. </div><div><br></div><div>And who can forget <b>Brien</b> Taylor? Isn't he in the Hall of Fame by now? </div><div><br></div><div>How about the first-ever Winick-hyped bean <b>Ben</b> Grieve?

But who knows. Perhaps their middle names begin with B.</div><div><br></div><div>So once more: "To <b>Bean </b>or not to <b>Bean</b>?"
