OK, I'll have a look. But I really should be looking over the mock drafts and pretending I can understand any of it. Chris is Dallas

First we ruin Mark’s life with baseball-reference, and now you want to ruin mine with this. OK, I’ll have a look. But I really should be looking over the mock drafts and pretending I can understand any of it.

You will get nothing done for the rest of the day, however. The link won't go through billfer's filter, but Google "Name of the Year Blog" and it will be the first thing that pops up. Sorry for the non-Tigers related nature of this post. I'm trying to become a more well-rounded individual. And not well-rounded in the way that Gil Cabrera is well-rounded, either.

Hence the nickname. Better still, he has a brother named York. I see more potential there. One boring afternoon at a different job a few years ago, we went on a silly name tear. One of the safer ones to mention here would be Herb Oobs. A second baseman, I think. “Shooter Hunt, better than drafting his brother Mike”
