For those of you that haven’t taken the time to go through the MLB and MiLB Around The Horn sites, I must tell you that it is amazing how much information is at your disposal on the sites. I woke up this morning at 8:15am, I grabbed a cup of coffee and started surfing Around The Horn and got lost in my own little world. I had been on for 3 ½ hours before realizing what time it was. The amount of facts, figures, news and human interest stories available are simply unquantifiable.
You can poke around yourself and find out what you think is neat, but here’s a sample of something that just doesn’t appear anywhere else (at least not as timely – I can see it appearing a number of places over the next week as the story gets picked up upon.)
According to Matt Youmans of The Las Vegas Review-Journal, 16-yr old phenom Bryce Harper has enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada, and plans to attend classes this August. He will also get his GED this fall. Because CSN is a two-year institution, the move allows Harper to be eligible for the 2010 draft rather than waiting for 2011, when he would graduate high school.Harper was introduced to the masses in a SI feature last month, and at the moment is the odds-on favorite to go first overall in either the 2010 or 2011 drafts.
