Dianna,

What's going on w/Extended ST guys? Anyone standing out? Any surprises?

What are you hearing about those that will stay behind?

Been looking for updates to the ETwins roster. See some of the picks there, but not guys like Papasan and Waltenbury. And Rene Leveret and Sanchez are there??

Thanks for all the info you pass on.

I think I covered most of that in this post.

Sanchez was re-injured his knee (again) and is done for the season.

Most of the what's left are the Latin Americans and the Koreans. There a few that I like from both camps, but we'll see how things go.

Thanks D-E-E ;)

Another fun summer for you. Even moreso with the Miracle's first half.

Hope you get to watch Revere in the second half.

But we don't need an outfielder.
