Hey Timothy,

When the Royals' Tony Pena Jr. announced that he'd be converting to pitcher, I started thinking about other people who have made difficult conversions from position to position, and made a team consisting of just converted players:

If you get a chance, check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot!

Timothy,

Not sure if you're a college baseball fan, but here’s my latest piece about the College World Series.

The student-athletes play with youthfulness and excitement and it’s sad that college baseball doesn’t get very much recognition.

If you get the chance let me know what you think.

Hey Timothy,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks
