ugh, I'm a bonehead. I thought I drafted a shortstop in the first round. But he is just a 9/10/11/11 infielder who is left handed.
As Doug said, use him at first and you'll have one of the best fielding first basemen of all time who hits a ton ...

Re: Sox 42.053 Sox Takes, Week Four: Tommy Cochran!

He's unusual in that he really doesn't have a split: he rakes against righties almost as well as he does against lefties - which is to say pretty darn well.

Re: 2042 - Catchers of the Heartland

Re: Two maulings sour Topeka's week (2042-37)

Playing around with the minors really is a lot of fun, isn't it? I like that I'm getting to know the other teams in Grand Junction's division (the Bear Cats included!), and that I know the Gold Sox are trying for a third straight division title. There's so much depth to this league if you just take ...

Re: Sox Scoops 42.052: Black Sox Draft Pitcher, Project Him As Bullpen Ace

Good pick. Would have been my pick over Alvarez if he were eligible to convert to SP. Will be a great reliever though...nice to grab those guys that are overlooked when they're tagged as SP Yeah - they're like hidden gems. I've actually got a few decent starters working their way through my system,...
