Quick Hits…

One of the Orioles’ top prospects, Bill Rowell, was put on the DL yesterday. Many people with whom I spoke expect him to be back soon.

The White Sox starting pitcher tomorrow night is young Gavin Floyd. Floyd is from Bmore; he’s a Mt. St. Joe’s grad, and was a top 5 pick for the Phillies in 2001. He dominated the minors, and had a few opportunities in the bigs in recent years, and struggled. Now it looks like he has finally put it together in 2008. He is 2-0 with an ERA in the low 2’s… and in his last start he nearly pitched a no hitter.

Floyd and Mark Teixeira are the only two ahtletes from the same high school to be taken in the top 5 of a major sports draft… it was the MLB 2001 draft. Very cool… it is a nice Bawlmer stat.

Floyd was on with Anita Marks during her show today…. I am going to try and track him down at the end of the game….

I hope everyone has been enjoying my 1st week of live reports from the Yard.  Today was my last time for this current homestand. I will be back at ESPN 1300 world headquarters Thursday and Friday….
