Another member of the Pioneer League All-Star team that I had a chance to interview last week was Blake Trahan, 3rd round pick of the Cincinnati Reds in 2015 and current Billings Mustangs player. Trahan isn’t the biggest of players but his stats and high draft pick show that his talent is not one to…

BATTING MILESTONES Chris Carter, Astros, 100 HR’s Torii Hunter, Twins, 2,400 hits Chase Headley, Yankees, 1,000…
When MLB made the decision to add the 2nd Wild Card team for the playoffs the Trading Deadline forever changed. 28 teams made trades in the last week with 16 of them making multiple deals. This is a great thing for the game of baseball. Biggest surprise for me was the Blue Jays making a…
