In the Big Leagues where the best target hitters in the world reside,they only hit their target (Less than 4” miss) 24% of the time w/FB’S. 4 that reason isn’t it more effective 2 attack the middle of the plate in more of a north south(up/down)front & back mode(Change of speeds)?

On way to watch Myrtle Beach Pelicans tonight when got word Pelicans owner Chuck Greenberg bought Carolina Hurricanes. Reason to rejoice.

Record spending in 2017 MLB draft overall, but only one round record broken (Mets JC RHP Kyle Wilson got $270,000 in 35th round)

MLB teams combined to spend more than $285M on picks in '17 draft, breaking previous record (set in 2016) by more than $18M

Shortest signing period (25 days) in MLB draft history led to 74.9% players being signed--down from 75.5% in '16, record 78.3% in '15

MLB draft signing deadline only 5 days away; still 25 players in first 10 rounds officially unsigned, including 7 first-rounders

Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inducts 5 on Saturday, including ex-Jays RHP Roy Halladay, ex-Expos OF Vladimir Guerrero

Hockey draft tonite at United Center/Chicago; should be festive event--in line with what low-key baseball draft should strive to become

Hall of Fame weekend: Saw Football HofF in Canton yesterday, on way to Canadian BB HofF in St. Marys Saturday, Rock-and-Roll Hall on Monday

MLB teams strategically picked 68 college SRs in first 10 rounds of draft, including 24 of 30 selections in 10th round

Any doubt best JC baseball played in Florida? State had 11 of 18 JC players drafted thru 10 rounds, 2 in first round, 5 by JC champ Chipola

Changing of the guard! Between them, USC, Arizona State, Miami have won 20 CWS titles, but had no players in top 10 rounds of MLB draft

Five college SRs taken in 5th round of MLB draft; rush on cost-saving SRs should start in 7th round

Surprise 1-1 pick by Twins in Royce Lewis, represented by Boras, In '83, Boras cut his teeth as agent with Tim Beclcher, 1-1 pick by Twins.

MLB draft has come long way, but studio show/4 players on hand tonite says it still has a long way to go to generate buzz of even NHL draft

20 yrs ago, last year of MLB's short-sighted/self-imposed blackout on public release of players drafted beyond first round

Twins, Reds set to go 1-2 in Monday's MLB draft; last occurred in 1983, when both passed on Roger Clemens, took Tim Belcher, Kurt Stillwell

If Vandy's Kyle Wright goes 1-1 in MLB draft, he becomes 8th such college pick ever (of 26) who went undrafted out of HS.

Excited to see Preds/Penguins in NHL final; styles of Ducks and/or Senators might have set game back 20 years

Righthanders again most popular demographic at top of MLB draft, but still no first-round RHP in Hall of Fame
