[quote:84e0a71bf9="blackjack57"]Darn, I was predicteable, couldnt pass up a potential franchise C. Hopefully Cubit is finding the next Hideki Irabu for his team[/quote:84e0a71bf9]
Great to see the draft finally moving again, though I'm about to have to go to a conference banquet. I've left proxies but would have preferred to make my own pick here, but nothing happened almost all day it seems.
On the Irabu comment: After the Yanks dumped him-- for really poor reasons I believe-- Hideki Irabu went back to Japan and carried the Hanshin Tigers to a pennant. He had the skill and a tremendous desire to succeed in America, but just did not "vibrate" the way Steinbrenner demanded.
