    Odds that Chris Hansen asks him to "go ahead and have a seat right on that stool for me please": 87%

    I don't like to make snap judgments about people, but with that mustache on that face you know this guy's best move is telling a girl that he'll give her One Direction tickets if she sneaks out tonight and meets him in the Denny's parking lot. First day in my clubhouse his new name is going to be Fred 'Old Enough' Ratley. Thank God his Leader Ability is Very Low. The last thing we need in Chicago is a rash of Mark Chmura style hot tub parties.

    I'm not going to lie. 90% of my decision to draft this guy was based on the possibility of seeing that mug wearing a cap with the Playboy logo on it.

              You can never have too many good pitching prospects.

                  Awesome read. Had an ESPN-like feel to it. I say you just stay with the BLB Media and have someone else run Seattle.

                    I agree with everybody above me. This review has really brought the draft to life, and I appreciate all the work that you've put into it.

                        Too early for a follow up article, but fun to look back.

                          Ingram's early knock was his defense but he's developed into a 6 in LF. Always nice to see the defensive ratings go up.
