And the Jays tonight just claimed sole possession of LAST PLACE!! Congrats proudly!! The jays at least used to finish 3rd or 4th once in a while but now we can honestly say they have gotten worse as the years have gone by.Maybe next year you can brag up those “sandwich” picks like you always do and get yourself another bust like the jays are so famous for

The injury changed that. Also, they didn’t tell Hensley they were just going to throw him back into the pool.

With the $615K remaining, they’ll be lucky to get one of those guys.

Thank you and good luck to you guys as well.

I have no idea if it is worth paying more than $100,000 to any of them.

Admittedly it was because he was born without a UCL and threw funny because of it . . . that and the fact he really had marginal stuff till he perfected his knuckler. I’m going to guess that “Shoulder Abnormality” isn’t much of anything beyond a variation of the “normal”.

Since the road to the ML’s is 3, 4 or even 5 years away for virtually all these players, all we can do is hope.

On the other hand, the pitcher chosen by the Yankees with the 30th pick in the 2007 draft also hit 97 with his fastball. I am sure that Yankee fans hope that Hensley is not another Andrew Brackman.

Reports have his fastball touching 97MPH
