They talked about Slade Heathcott, Graham Stoneburner, Brett Gerritse, plus a whole bunch of the other tough signs. Make sure you head over and give it a read. Great stuff.

Wow, comparing a white guys athletic skills to 2 black guys? Someone better tell Damon that you don’t do that.
Wonder if Heathcott has D-1 point guard potential as Henry & AJAX did/do
He needs to go the Red Sox school of scouting.
Why not? Brett Gardner runs as fast as any black ballplayer in the majors.
You rarely hear the same comparisons the other way. Never hear the black guy whos a grinder. Who knows the game. The media always compares them to someone they look like.
Due to last year’s circumstances some fans are getting a little bit edgy about Slade Heathcott and JR Murphy.
100% agree, especially after last year when most people seemed to go with the “don’t worry he’ll sign” with Cole.
Don’t worry; they’ll sign.
