First Pitch: Revisiting the Steal That Was the Travis Snider Trade

My original plan for tomorrow was to head up to Morgantown to cover the West Virginia Black Bears for their next four games. But that plan changed tonight when I realized two things.

1. Stephen Tarpley, who I haven't seen pitch since early in extended Spring Training, is starting for the Power.

2. Seth McGarry, who I saw pitch in the GCL last month, is starting for the Black Bears.

Add in the fact that Tarpley is a much higher rated prospect than McGarry, and the decision was easy to stick around Charleston for one more day to see the top left-handed pitching prospect in the system pitch.
