[USML Announce] Story from the League Historian ... and Potentially Historic Offer

[Andy Klein]

Hard throwing lefty college phenom ... I'm hearing comparisons to Ben
McDonald ...

As for those HQ projections, I'd be interested in digging up what they said
about Bautista in 2010.  And even if they're in the ballpark with Iglesias
this year, that's at least $7 in undervalue!

That is all.
