RIP. I was a big fan of his, and am still a Cowboys fan. Once while I was in college at SHSU he pulled up in front of the Student Center while I was walking out. He was there representing smokeless tobacco that weekend for some SHSU rodeo event. Of course he had on wranglers, boots, big rodeo buckle, cowboy hat, etc. He was a very stout guy.
Good for him. The MLB signing tracker at five minutes ago showed he was unsigned. When I saw this I checked again and it indeed said he was signed. Glad he got more money, but sorry to see him go. Good luck in the pros.
I am not sure what is up with the Dodgers, but according to their full draft/signing tracker they haven't signed a single player. I just checked and the Astros have signed some players, but Garret is not one of them. Lucas has agreed to terms with the White Sox, but has not signed the deal yet according to the White Sox's draft/signing tracker.
Interesting. I did a quick search and couldn't find his recent stats but he did post that he was the team's MVP this year and he made first team all district, or their equivalent.
Witt looked good in his previous start, but yesterday looks more like what he did before the start before that and most of his outings during the season. I don't know if he needs to shut it down or keep working.
Regarding the Schwartz kid that just committed, I don't know much about him but saw a kid named Bolkema, class of 24 from Iowa, welcoming him as another prior commit. I looked him up and he was a champion last year in some kind of national home run derby contest. He looks like a high school defensive lineman. He is about 5 ft. 10 and about 250.
Checked the stats yesterday and Flores and Galvan are not doing well in summer ball. Belyeu is on the same team and is doing pretty well. Flores and Galvan have low batting averages and too many strikeouts and don't seem to be improving over what they did during the season this year. I hope Flores and Galvan pick it up in those categories if they are expected to have significant roles at UT next year.
