while poring over copious data points in preparation for this year’s fantasy baseball draft, i came across a couple names that i don’t hear much anymore.
dustan mohr. bobby kielty. the former is now a backup outfielder for the tampa bay devil rays, his fifth team in five years. the latter, a backup outfielder for the oakland athletics. both have become fringe major leaguers. but in 2002, they were…

I rarely do things that are normal, usually through no fault of my own. Yesterday was a bit off the scale though, even for me.
