(Pete Kozma's HS) Brian Flynn is the name. 6'8" 250lbs. LHP. Kid "signed" with Witchita State but so did Pete. Not sure where he is on a draft board, but somebody that should at least garner some interest. BTW Owasso just won state again this year!

SAU was my first college, as they lured me with the promise of being the sports editor as a freshman. Turns out Ambrose is known for journalism, just not the print variety. Now if I wanted to be on the radio, well then things would have been great! The funny part is that Newsome started out at Missouri Southern in Joplin, where I live now! Guess I should have paid more attention to that contest, as well. As for the St. Ambrose reference, I should have bugged some of my friends from my hometown.

Yesterday, 2-for-2 with a walk--but also, 2 errors (still just 3 on the year), a caught stealing, and twice(!) picked off first. Well, he is a teenager after all. Mannbel so far: .371/.482/.571, with 12 walks & just 5 strikeouts in 70 at-bats. I’ll provide an occasional Gerardo Mannbel update from Venezuela, if no one minds.

There's too much consensus that we'll take Friedrich or Melville or Lawrie. . .we'll end up with Lancy Lynn or Putnam or someone like that.

It is strange seeing a teams top two starters throw on the same night. I thought Diapoules had better stuff overall, but no one squared up anything against Addition. Everything hitter got wood on were weird cue shot type balls off the handle or nubbers off the end of the bat. There is something about the finish of Addition's motion that is funky. It is really abrupt and doesn't give his arm time to decelerate. When I went and saw QC at Kane County, I lucked out and saw the Addition/Diapoules starting tandem.
