Part two of my getting-caught-up recap will cover some of the amateur games I saw since the Kelly-Ferrara recap, while the others will be covered in part three which jointly will span the spectrum of mid-range to high-profile and cover 2008 and 2009 draft prospects.
The college game I caught last Friday was a […]

The scouting road has been taking me all over creation of late, but I return to you with a scouting report on Old Dominion junior RHP Dan Hudson.
Hudson had huge buzz building behind him as I went to see him for the first time in the Cape Cod League. He was a guy […]
