The 2017 First-Year Player Draft has come and gone, at least the anticipation and speculation part of it. Right now there is no more mystery regarding team selections, although we still might try to figure out the drafting strategy used by our favorite team. I certainly pay close attention to the first 10 rounds in […]

Victor Roache is one of those reinforcements recently pressed into service. […]

Oklahoma City Dodgers right-hander Trevor Oaks was named the Pitcher of the Week in the Pacific Coast League for the week of May 29-June 4. It was his third such award.
