Morning Prowl: Follow-ups on Willis, Galarraga, Turner
OK, so admittedly there isn't much of a Morning Lede today. Some combination of a certain someone watching too much basketball and accidentally using the best blogging material the night before. Whoops.
While I will admit I did not pick many of the upsets on Thursday -- the BYB Pool standings will confirm that -- I don't mind. Everyone loves watching a top-seed lose. It's just that sometimes I forget which team I took. Like I find myself rooting for Montana over New Mexico tonight, because I'd prefer to vacation in Montana. (Thus answering the question: where does someone who lives in the UP go to get away from the hustle and bustle of it all.) And then I remember I have New Mexico in the Elite Eight. Whoops.
Go Grizzlies! (And you thought I meant Oakland, didn't you?)
Inspired by "Why don't they make music like this anymore?" here's the links I would have written more about.

MLB.com's Jason Beck: Willis in good spirits after scoreless effort
"I must be one of the most frustrating guys ever to watch," Willis said. "You never know what you're going to get. But as long as we're getting people out, that's a good thing." -

now I'm going to have to check the Loons schedule
And see when the Whitecaps visit and hope to see Jacob Turner pitch.

Henning has me a little excited about this year's Mud Hens team.
A Ramirez-Wells-Boesch outfield with Strieby at 1st and Dlugach at SS sounds much more interesting than some of the flotsam they trotted out there last year.
How about this list of other 1st round picks to start their "careers" at West Michigan?
* Ben Grieve (1994, second overall).
* Jeff Weaver (1998, 14th overall).
* Eric Munson (1999, third overall).
* Matt Wheatland (2000, eight overall).
* Kenny Baugh (2001, 11th overall).
* Scott Moore (2002, eighth overall).
* Cameron Maybin (2005, 10th overall).
That’s a little less than awe-inspiring.
Ha ha. Yeah.
I thought the same thing!
It kind of sums up our pathetic drafting pre-Chadd era.
And most of our “top” prospects go directly to high-A ball, and skip the trip to West Michigan.
