Chronicles of the Lads

Hi gang.

I had a death in the family, so I've been out of town a few days. I'm still catching up with life, so hopefully will have some material tomorrow.

Someone commented on my Matt Harvey post below to say that "Whoever wrote this doesn't know what they're talkin [sic] about," saying that Harvey weighs "210lb. [sic] and is very strong". Well, it was MLB/MiLB's official website that claims he weighs 195, that's where I got that. I have no problem believing he is "very strong", I just don't think 195 pounds is a whole lot for someone who's 6'4'', that's all. And while the commenter says "you've obviously never seen his 12-6 curve [I have not] [and s]couts describe as sick and one of the best in the draft", the scouting report I link above says "Harvey has the chance to have a plus curve" (emphasis mine).

I don't know, I'm just summing up things I've heard about him. As I said, I'm excited about the pick and I hope we sign him.
