I’ve already talked about Rubio vs. Griffin ad nauseum and I posted my thoughts on a few other players a couple weeks ago, so in the interest of keeping this post from being absurdly long, I will only comment on the prospects I have not previously mentioned. 1.

Phil Hughes to the Pen
Well, the Yankees have announced that Phil Hughes is moving to the bullpen, so Wang can move back into the rotation. Does this mean he no longer counts as a starter according to the Mike Francesa Pitching Bible? I personally expect him to pitch well in relief because he’s got great stuff, and in short relief, he [...]

A Few NBA Draft Thoughts
I’m going to post some thoughts on the finals in the coming days, but today I wanted to get in a few opinions on the draft. The combine was this past week and this is where we start to get a good feel for where each player will go and how highly they are valued by GM’s [...]
