So hey everyone, I went to the getaway day game at the Oakland Coliseum (named after whatever sponsor they have these days, but like the Sears Tower I only know it by the generic name everyone else uses) and did not regret it. This was, as they say, a game time decision where I weighed how much I really wanted …

With the possible exception of that 3rd round draft pick, there are exactly zero players that you would expect to rise to the level of "MLB-prospect," and you'd be …
