The Can of Corn – Show 18

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Darren Shimp! Our beloved Mr. Kinsler might not be done for the season after all, though he’s still currently keeping company on the DL with almost every one of our Rookie Watch candidates. This week’s show features a lot of general baseball talk and a Can of Corn first: two emails in the same week! Lend us an ear, grab your glove and head for the outfield – here comes The Can of Corn!
