First Round Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals) – Boras Corp. – Interesting to note that Bud Selig referred to Harper as an outfielder even though he has played mostly catcher his entire life. Get this kid on the fast track through the Minors. Jameson Tallion (Pittsburgh Pirates) – Hendricks Sports Management – Big high school arm […]
This time of year, Panama City, Florida becomes a hot spot for Spring Breakers throughout the Southeast United States. Panama City boasts beautiful beaches, superb sunsets, and plenty of bars that don’t care to ID their patrons. I am not trying to get any bar owners in trouble by writing this post, however. One thing […]
