The weather has been beautiful this past week. I have been soaking up the sun and hitting the courts, trying to get my tennis game back to what it once was. Carl Krauser made it to New Zealand and is ready to put in some great work for the Waikato Pistons. Many of our Minor Leaguers have begun play, and we have been updating their progress on our Facebook and Twitter pages. One more week of law school and then a couple of exams. After that, the law school portion of my life will come to a close. I will be back in South Florida for the first half of May. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
Baseball
- One scout thinks the chances of Paxton’s stock going up is very slim [Former Blue Jays pick James Paxton aims to rebuild draft status at Grand Prairie].

- The current state of the super-two salary arbitration designation may not make it past negotiations regarding baseball’s next collective bargaining agreement [Strasburg’s station based on dollars, not sense].
- Tim Dierkes of MLBTradeRumors shows no love for SFX in their representation of Bengie Molina [Baseball Players Looking At Wrong Numbers].
Tennis
