  1. Lots of chatter on mlb network radio this morning about Heaney. Some are saying the Dodgers may have found the next Robbie Ray. The fact that he's already signed gives them more time to work on correcting him (Ray also signed early with Toronto last year). He's basically been a league average pitcher the last four years - except for two horrible months in NY. Kevin Frandsen said Heaney was tipping his change up all year... and his change up was getting hammered. His fastball has been in the 90th percentile for spin rate... Most are of the opinion that in most cases - the Dodgers can make pitchers better. We'll see.
  2. You’ve probably never heard of Aaron Martens. Fact is, most people have probably never heard of him even though he is quite famous within the bass fishing community. Sadly, he passed away yesterday after a two year battle with brain cancer. His nickname was the “Furious Hog Snatcher.” Big bass are often called “pigs or hogs” and he was one of the best at catching them. He did this in his own unique way. He was innovative and creative in his approach to bass fishing. Every now and then someone comes along in an industry or a sport or a field or some arena that allows them to stand out in a monumental way. That was Aaron Martens. And even though was an incredibly impressive bass fisherman – the way people talked about him is what made him special. He was funny and creative. He was incredibly genuine and authentic. He was kind and giving. He was a Believer and a tremendous role model. He was such a positive force and a light in this world. He was a legend. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak in person a couple times and I am incredibly saddened to hear about his passing. He was only 49 years old.
  3. 50th round out of high school... he opted to go to Florida State instead.
  4. One of the best fantasy baseball team names ever... "Pocket full of Poseys"
  5. I heard someone make the argument that his numbers are similar to Jorge Posada's and he received less than. 4% of the vote. That being said, I think Posey IS a HOFer.
  6. Looks like you're doing some fishing of your own.
  7. I'm not single. My wife supports my fishing addiction.
