Speaking of pitchers to mic up, give us Carlos Estevez coming out of the bullpen any time.

“Wild Thing” has a great personality and is always a good interview in the locker room. I have a feeling he would be the same on the diamond as well, especially after coming in during a pressure situation. Plus, with Estevez having the potential to have more than one role (bridge, set-up man, and potentially even closer) depending on game situation and bullpen fatigue, there would be plenty of fodder for a question and answer session … and some emotion coming out as well (much like Freeland).

Additionally, we need to make sure that the Spanish-speaking audience has a connection to the game. With the bright smile (and bright baseball mind) that Estevez possesses, he fits the potential for a mic’d up candidate on many levels.
