Just something to think about...
This is just a quickie because I have a ton of work to do, as has generally been the case this semester, but I just thought this was an interesting idea. I'm not sure either of them is entirely ready (although I do love them both very much and have decided that I am legally married to Dusty Brown's throwing arm) - I guess we'll just have to see how things work out. (The ideal scenario would be to keep Tek around a little longer to mentor them for maybe a season or so and then let them blossom on their own, but I just don't know if that's happening...)
Also, I actually wrote some of Londinium today. What?
EDIT: I know I've said this before and I will definitely say it again, but I adore the way Jed uses the English language. I love how technical he sounds!
"I think that's the fun of the offseason," said Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie. "It's always fun during the year because you're in the middle of the season, you're battling day in and day out. The fun of the offseason is the unknown -- to see what's gong to happen. Theo has probably got a few ideas up his sleeve, and we'll just all have to wait and see what happens."
(...)
"Obviously, the rivalry is more intense when both teams are competing for the AL East title," Lowrie said. "Clearly, with that size of contract, you're going to have a lot of responsibility coming into New York to pitch well for that team and especially coming off a year where they had so many injuries, just for him to stay healthy would be a big thing. There's no question that a guy like CC Sabathia coming in with the track record and the history that he had in the American League will be big. He's a quality starter that will make the Yankees a better team."
