My esteemed co-worker and Managing Editor, Peter Harling is here as well. DobberProspects has you well covered for this premier event. This [...]
Welcome to this Thursday ramblings, or as I am calling it the “pre-draft day prospect reading” day. ************** So what can I really say? I know I will be tuning in to the draft day festivities and having to miss most of my baseball game Friday. I just hope this time the [...]
