April 13, 200422 yr Bo Ivy was the kid with the great speed but his bat never caught up. Keefner is a kid out of Chicago whom the Diamondbacks took in the 4th round out of high school, but he played a year of JC football instead. The Sox took him in the mid rounds a couple years ago and tried to get him back in baseball shape. Too bad it didn't work out for Keefner, they said he's a great athlete with lots of power.
April 13, 200422 yr Author Yep, Keefner was always hurt in his 2 seasons with us. I was a big follower of Lackaff, he was a very good defensive 3Bman and had a clutch bat, but he was always hurt too. Ivy never progressed after a decent first season, too bad, I liked his name and speed too.
