Oh. Sorry.

But yeah. College definately look at the ACT. I find it easier than the SAT. It’s more science and math based. With an Actual science section. A Superb ACT score will offset any mediocre SAT score.

A nice opportunity to get colleges looking at you, especially if SAT isn’t your thing (like me).

Accardo is in AAA atm. He’s been playing well, but has not yet been called up.

He lost his slider last year or the year before and was ineffective. It’s been getting better down in AAA. =)

Ones to really worry about

are Frasor and Downs. See my preview.

I guess so.

I overlooked Frasor for some reason. Those are some beautiful stats he’s got. But he’s got nothing on MDC and RamRam.

Because BJ Ryan was untouchable, much like Maddox and Glavine used to be

He was DOMINANT. It was so impressive to watch him back in the day, and it’s just sad to see him go so far downhill. He’s a nobody now. Just like Glavine and Maddox.. they kept trying and trying yet they were never as great as they were with the Braves

And I think he may call a better game than mon capitan. The only one of our pitchers who’s succeeding is Wake, and he’s the one only Kott catches. Lester also had one really good start with Kottaras behind the plate.
