Last Day To Get Drafted Into The MLB In 2010

Today is Day 3 of the MLB Rule 4 Draft.  There are still 20 more rounds to go, and while teams do not take up close to their 1 minute of allotted time per pick, it is a long and exhausting process.  Festivities will kick off at noon for the 2nd day in a row, […]

The MLB Draft Day 1 Broken Down

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 […]

The 2010 MLB Draft Begins Tonight

While Bryce Harper is the clear #1 overall pick in terms of talent, he leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to character.  Getting a two-game suspension slapped on you after your second ejection of the season, right before the biggest day of your life (the MLB Draft), might cause you to slip […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (5/21/2010)

I am smack in the middle of Week 1 of studying for the Florida and Multistate Bar Exam.  If I had no time management skills, I would crash and burn trying to manage studying for this mega test along with everything else I am doing at the same time.  I wish I were out in […]

How Will James Paxton’s Case Be Framed?

Last night, I was reading the University of Kentucky’s response in opposition to James Paxton‘s motion for a temporary injunction against the university.  If James Paxton’s name does not ring a bell, quickly get caught up by reading this recent post.  Anyway, the most interesting piece of the 86-page document is Exhibit 5.  Exhibit 5 […]
