Damn, Richard how do these guys rank in your mind? Thought both would be real good for us but this seems to say otherwise. Any idea

      I haven’t had a chance to see either in person. I was hoping to see Kel Johnson at the Perfect Game event at Lake Point when I was out there last night but he seems to be sitting out this weekend, I assume in conjunction with the draft going on.

      I’m picturing Johnson as a modern J.J. Thomas. And J.J. would own the school career home run record right now if he had stayed around for his senior season. I would take that from Kel…

      With Gooden, it means we will have three pitchers coming back from Tommy John as we go into next season.

    Interesting read thanks! Really hope they turn out well. How do people generally respond from TJ? Hope Gooden can get on track.

    It would be a great addition to have some power. ESPN says they’re going with the Minor League ball next year. That should mean more HRs for every team, no?

    It’s hard to picture TJ surgery for HS kids!
