This is the part I hate. Particularly when I've had the pleasure of interviewing (and getting to know) six of the names on the list. Tyler Brunnemann is, apparently, being picked up by the Angels organization. I hope to see the rest get an opportunity with another affiliate as well.

ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to following Steve Naemark this year. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck guys in the future. Unfortunately system is starting to get backlogged with young talent and no room for advancement.
