Back in January 2020, when the world was young, I wrote a post here at VEB about Dakota Hudson that harkened back to my youth. Remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” novels from the 1980s? Like the legendary literature masterpiece, You Are a Shark?
Dakota Hudson – and the fan narrative around him – reminded me of those books. He was young, having just completed a rookie year as a starter with mixed results, and there were so many possible paths for his future! Was he good? Was he terrible? Was he heading to the Rockies in a deal for Nolan Arenado?
