Hey Real Lynch, I just wonder why you would even try to make a point with these guys. That is like throwing darts from the inside of a Zeppelin!


Seriously, I liked Malik from the minute I first saw or heard him; same with Jaylon.

I was really impressed with Amir. I thought that was a fastball with more heat than he deserved, and if you watch his face and body language, he obviously reacted like a man. Here is a kid that had a horrible season last year, after more than his share of injuries prior to that. And he was thankful to continue to heal throughout the year.

He seems ready to roll this year: I especially wish him the best.

On Onwualu, I don't take that as a good news. Really hoping someone takes control of the middle this year. Sucks that Grace might be out again. Really wish Nyles was an EE.
