This has been a fun start to the year now that I’m writing for Talking Chop. I don’t think of myself as a writer by any means, just a guy that has a passion for the sport of baseball. Over the past few years, really since Coppy was brought on board, I decided to jump off the deep end for prospects. Even in the early years of my fandom, I’d heard such names like Wilson Betemit, David Justice and Chipper Jones. But it was all on the surface level and wasn’t anything that I ever tried to learn more about.
