I can’t say I’ve ever heard Dave this excited. Best of luck!
Dave’s great, but it would’ve been utterly priceless had Dave Cameron advised future generations to be less smug and understand their own limitations in the most old-timey Cameron smug way.
Somewhat disappointed there wasn’t an interstitial music cue featuring Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So”
Dave, you’re going to fit right in with the Padres in their draft meeting. An acquaintance was at his first draft meeting with them and said it got quite heated and repeatedly thought the stats guys and old-school scouts were on the verge of coming to blows until AJ stepped in.
