Re: Mookie Betts from Nashville is a great talent

I wonder if he had ever worked out at Vanderbilt with David Price and some of the other VU alums from the Nashville area. According to stories I've read about the pros who work out at VU in the offseason, Mookie does occasionally work out at Vanderbilt, but more often than working out, he's on camp...

NJ.com: "N.J.’s Jack Leiter, son of ex-Yankee Al Leiter, could land with Red Sox in 2021 MLB Draft"

Short, but interesting piece about Jack Leiter from NJ.com:

Imagine the internal angst Al Leiter, Jack’s dad, will feel if the former Mets and Yankees pitcher watches his son land with the Boston Red Sox.

The first story from WEEI has a lot of good commentary from Corbs about both Kumar and Jack Leiter. Bradford: Red Sox fans, let us intr...

Fulmer picked up by Orioles

Man, this has been a tough season for Carson. The Pirates have already waived him, and now the Orioles have claimed him. That's his fourth team this season, which is only one off the MLB record for most teams in a single season despite this being a short season.

Re: P Christian Little to enroll early,.

Why don't we load up on top pitchers? Appears to be a great addition. However, it seems he throws only in the low 90s. Isn't the criteria for great pitchers that they throw at close to 100 or more? Just asking. Two points: He's only 17 and yet to be in a college strength and conditioning program so...

Re: Congrats to Sam Selman

A. I believe former teammate Mike Yaz scored the tying run in that gamebefore a 2-run homer by Asoka I won it. B. I’m not familiar with the “Hard Hit Balls” stat, but I would think a guy should want to be way down that list rather than second. Either way, it’s not likely a telling stat with only 12...

Re: Pirates claim Fulmer

Carson is running out of chances I fear. He is probably my all time favorite VU pitcher for the way he competed and handled himself in the big situations. I'm surprised that he appears to be on the verge of being forced out, but at least he has the VU education and should be financially stable from...

Pirates claim Fulmer

According to MLive.com, Pittsburgh has claimed Carson Fulmer off waivers, which reunites him with Bryan Reynolds, and he is probably pretty well acquainted with Jacob Stallings, as well.

Cant imagine the Giants wanting to part with him any time soon. It's crazy looking at his long road through the minors to finally get to where he is. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=yastrz001mic In 2014 it looks like he got called up to AA and posted some okay numbers.
