But this time, it was a little overwhelming. Because while I forget details about the beginnings of blogging I still remember certain feelings vividly.
I remember the emptiness of hollering into the void. I remember the elation of finding an

Option 1 (seems most likely)
They’ll draft a Texas high school pitcher with big upside named
Twins MLB Draft Profile: Jonathan Gray, RHP
by John Bonnes on 06-02-2013 at 09:26 PM
Who IS This Guy?
Jonathan Gray is a right-handed college starting pitcher who has rocketed up the draft charts becoming one of the two most coveted picks in the draft. Coming into the college season he was a decent but not remarkable prospect, but that was before posting 127 strikeouts (in 110 IP), a 9-2 record and a 1.55 ERA (pre NCAA tournament). It was also before he unveiled improvements on a couple of standout pitches.
The first is an “80” fastball

Huh. So Herrmann is backup CFer again. I still don't know where Arcia plays, especially now that Parmelee & Doumit are hitting. Id have rather seen Antuan Richardson (is that his name?), I think.

Are people going to be disappointed if we end up with Bryant ( because pitchers go 1-2-3)? Do we need pitching that bad? i know I won't. But I sense I'm in the minority.
