In both roles Craig Biggio Jersey , he has met with teams and with players, promoting greater understanding. And there is more understanding now.The offensive tweets that have been uncovered don't change any of that. Hader's tweets, which came to light as the Milwaukee Brewers reliever was pitching in the All-Star Game, were from 2011 and 2012. Newcomb's tweets, which surfaced soon after the Atlanta Braves pitcher took a no-hitter into the ninth inning Sunday, were from those same years, as were offensive tweets by Nationals shortstop Trea Turner.I won't repeat any of the tweets here. Some were racist, some homophobic. It doesn't really matter which were which or which came from which players. As Doolittle tweeted Monday, it doesn't matter how they were discovered and who exactly wanted to make sure they were seen.To Hader's credit, people who know him say he hasn't asked why the tweets came out, only why he was so stupid or insensitive to have written them in the first place.I don't know him. I don't know Newcomb. And while I wrote a profile of Turner for Bleacher Report in October, I can't claim to really know him, either. I can't tell you what they really think now, let alone what they thought in high school.I can't tell you why they never deleted those tweets (though I will say finding old tweets isn't nearly as easy as some have made it sound).I wish they had deleted them George Springer Jersey , if only because it would have saved some pain for people like Rubenstein, who was quoted in Svrluga's story in the Post.But they did come out, and they did cause pain, and the only thing that could make any of us feel better about it is if they also spur players and baseball to take action.Nationals closer Sean Doolittle, shown with his wife Eireann Dolan at the All-Star Game, set out a blueprint for how baseball can make some good come out of the recent Twitter controversies.Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesAction doesn't mean punishment, and it doesn't mean attempting to scrub any bad words or deeds from someone's public record (though that's not a bad idea). It means speaking out like Doolittle did. It means players like Doolittle, who get it, taking the time to make sure their teammates get it, too.He can tell those teammates: "Here's why it's important to have a social conscience, and here's why saying the wrong thing can hurt people. And if you want help, I can help point you in the right direction."It can begin with one player, but then it has to be two and then three and then 15 and then maybe 50. It can begin with talking to teammates, but it can move from there to talking to fans.It can start with Svrluga's examples and quotes from those who felt damaged by what was said.Or it can start right now http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-evan-gattis-jersey , with each of those nine Doolittle tweets from Monday:Sean Doolittle whatwouldDOOdoWe have to start caring as much about the content of the posts as we do about when they were made and how they came to light.Sean Doolittle whatwouldDOOdoA lot of the tweets that have surfaced are from several years ago - from a time in their lives when they may not have realized the impact those words have. But as you learn from and grow out of that youthful indescretion, delete those posts to reflect that growth.Sean Doolittle whatwouldDOOdoIt鈥檚 a reminder that words matter, and that the impact the of words matter more than the intent. Rather than feeling like this platform makes us targets and we have to censor ourselves, find a way to use the platform to lift others up and make a positive impact.Sean Doolittle whatwouldDOOdoHomophobic slurs are still used to make people feel soft or weak or otherwise inferior - which is bullshit. Some of the strongest people I know are from the LGBTQIA community. It takes courage to be your true self when your identity has been used as an insult or a pejorative.Sean Doolittle whatwouldDOOdoIt鈥檚 a privilege to play in the major leagues and we have an obligation to leave the game better than we found it. There鈥檚 no place for racism, insensitive language or even casual homophobia. I hope we can learn from this and make the MLB a place where all our fans feel welcome.That's where baseball is, but that's also where baseball can be. The tweets were terrible, but perhaps just a little of what results from them can be good.It can happen, but only if more players and more people in general take what Doolittle said to heart.

Rob Carr/Getty ImagesMajor League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred received some criticism recently for saying that Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout could do more to market himself, but the seven-time All-Star isn't here for the drama.Trout addressed the situation on Wednesday, via the Angels:Angels AngelsStatement from Mike Trout: qM7h2SXoPBThis comes hours after the team issued a statement defending the face of its franchise:Angels AngelsToday, the #Angels released the following statement on OF Mike Trout: xFLURtZ4bTManfred made headlines with his comments onThe Dan Patrick Show, noting that Trout keeps a low profile:The commissioner referenced an article byBill Shaikinof theLos Angeles Times. In it, the outfielder was asked why he isn't viewed as marketable as Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James."I have no idea," Trout told Shaikin. "I don't really think about it like that."The general consensus among baseball fans is that Trout is the best player in the game today鈥攁nd he has plenty of hardware to back up the argument. He is a former Rookie of the Year Carlos Correa Jersey , a two-time American League MVP (to go with three second-place finishes and a fourth-place result) and a five-time Silver Slugger.Despite being the best player in the league and playing in the Los Angeles market, he is nowhere near the celebrity that James is...or even some middling NBA players. PerAdam Kilgoreof theWashington Post, the awareness category of Trout's Q Score is on the same level of Brooklyn Nets forward Kenneth Faried, who was recently traded as part of a salary dump.Baseball is coming off an era where its best players were among the biggest stars in America. The likes of Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were household names. Now, the best player in the world can go largely unnoticed.Trout has produced in the national spotlight鈥攚hen he's been given the opportunity. He has two All-Star Game MVP awards on his resume and also homered in the event this year. However, he struggles to gain attention because he plays on the West Coastandhasn't had many chances to shine on the postseason stage, as the Angels have made the playoffs just once in his first seven seasons.Manfred may want to see Trout step up and find ways to promote himself, but it appears as though the Angels star is focused on baseball, and only baseball.
