For Father's Day Junie bought me Baseball America's annual draft issue. I have fond memories of dissecting those issues in years past, highlighting the bio of prospects I thought were future big leaguers. On the day of the draft I would track the event in notes scribbled on the pages, identifying where reality differed from the predictions of the writers.
Today I did much the same thing, this time with Junie watching most of it with me - not by intention, she just wandered in - and asking some good questions. She even offered to watch the next rounds with me, although that might have been just a polite social lie.
The Brewers, with the 28th pick, chose Eric Brown, a shortstop out of Coastal Carolina. BA ranked him the 53rd best prospect in the draft.
Here's hoping he succeeds.
