Down-round pitching selections aren't interesting (yet) to me. Hope of course some bloom and I may even get carried away with dominating Brooklyn or Kingsport performances.
ReplyDeleteBut these "gym-rat" position players are different. Not sure-shot superstars lake Harper of Correa, but guys who have plugged away in obscurity with a modicum of success and a boat-load of enthusiasm. I'm rooting for LT Struble, Jake Ortega & the U.Penn catcher from the get-go.
