June 12, 200817 yr Something of a preview article for Great Falls, who've changed their nickname from the White Sox to the Voyageurs: http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs...312/1006/SPORTS
June 12, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:56 PM) You can bold out 1377 Lee Fischer. He's been assigned to Kannapolis. Done. And as the GF paper article said KW2 will be in camp shortly, I bolded him as well.

There is no future for this guy. he couldn't hit his weight with metal bats at Mizzou and the one thing he was good at, fielding, he stunk at this year.
June 12, 200817 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) Done. And as the GF paper article said KW2 will be in camp shortly, I bolded him as well. I'll believe that when I see it. He's a definite holdout

Great reporting there, messing up on something so easy to check.
June 12, 200817 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) You can bold out 1377 Lee Fischer. He's been assigned to Kannapolis. I'm reading this, thinking, I sure hope he's 1337, but that's a pretty bold prediction for such a low pick. Then I realize that's his actual draft position. If I were him, I'd brag to everyone about my draft number. And, yes, that may be why I'm no good at picking up women...

Why would you hope he was 1337? I get the feeling I'm missing some kind of blogosphere inside joke here.

June 12, 200817 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 02:45 PM) Nerd alert! no wonder he doesn't get any dates dropping pearls like that on the ladies
June 12, 200817 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 02:27 PM) We've signed Drew O'Neil also for $260,000 according to Baseball America. Sweet
June 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 05:21 PM) no wonder he doesn't get any dates dropping pearls like that on the ladies I didn't mean it quite that way -- more that I just have a skewed sense of humor, and usually find the wrong things funny. But hey, maybe, if things aren't going well this weekend...
June 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 08:21 PM) did we just bold KWjr. cause he's KW's son, or because he actually signed? QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 01:07 PM) Done. And as the GF paper article said KW2 will be in camp shortly, I bolded him as well. hooooooray reading
June 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Jun 12, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) hooooooray reading sorry my skimming skills are not as refined as yours.
