May 16, 200520 yr I still can't figure out who he is. I've asked all my buddies that played baseball with me in Irvine and I know he's from Irvine (cause I remember being shocked when a hometown player was drafted by the Sox). None of us have a clue who he is, but can't complain as he's kicking ass.
May 16, 200520 yr Not to poo-poo on it but he's 23 and in low A ball. But with that said, its hard to complain when one of our draftees puts up very good numbers. Will be interesting to see if he moves up anytime soon.

Also his first full season in the minors, and his first in full season league. So I would not pooh pooh this guy yet.
