[Butterscup1679666578]

A friend of mine from high school, Andy Moss, went in the 35th round to STL. Pretty cool to see.

You do realize that you can never speak to him again if they sign him, right?

Tigers just took Rick Porcello's younger brother.

 

Earlier today, the Red Sox took Yaz's nephew and the son of the McCourts' (Dodgers owner).

I think that depends on how close of friends they are/were. I had friends that were best friends with Jim Thome in high school, and they continued to be great friends well after he signed his first monster major league contract. I haven't seen any of those guys since I moved to California, but Thome bought property in Bartonville for hunting, so I would guess they are probably all still pretty good buds today.

Thome signed with Cleveland right? This guy signed with the Cardinals. I don't think he's making a "screw you peons I'm a pro now" comment, he's talking about the rivalry.

Ali's son! :shock:

He's from my home town.

Thome bought land in Ellisville for hunting not Bartonville. Hes got a sweet house way out in the country by Mt Piscah. Supposedly his land is connected with land that Tim McGraw recently purchased. Not sure why Im bringing this up in this thread just think its interesting. :D
