I knew the day would come.I’m just happy I could support the kid enough to get him the spotlight he deserves.This is deffinately a worthy kid of whatever accolades or praise he receives.He’s a very good catcher.
Robinson is definitely deserving of a page at BLF, but Kevin, you can take the credit for it going up. When I was looking for a midwest player to do a profile on, he jumped right out at me from hearing his name so much in comments.
The Next Campaign i’m leading so to say is for Gavin collins of El Toro HS.He’s a pretty thickly built HS C.Got a terrific bat.
Collins is a solid prospect, you may get your wish on that one.
What Can I say…I just have a eye for talent.Apparently a good eye it would seem.
