Moneyball - Where are they now ?

Quote
JEREMY BROWN
Catcher, first round, University of Alabama; played five games in the majors in 2006.
Brown's husky build made him one of the more unorthodox draft picks of the A's in 2002. He lasted six seasons in the Oakland organization, managing only 10 official MLB at-bats (three hits). In 2008, the Alabama native announced his retirement, walked away from the game and returned home to Hueytown to follow in the footsteps of his father and become a coal miner. In his life after baseball, Brown and Dad descend into the mines at night, emerging the next morning covered in coal dust. "Playing baseball is something that I loved to do, but I'm happier now because of my family and not because of my job," Brown says. "I'm married with a little boy and a little girl. I'm able to coach youth baseball." Most important? "I'm home and not traveling all the time.

The Red Sox win the bidding for Yoan Moncada

http://espn.go.com/boston/columns/mlb/story/_/id/12370007/yoan-moncada-gamble-pay-big-boston-red-sox

This might free up some prospects as trade bait for starting pitching, eg Cole Hamels

So my Yankees are retiring Any Petite's number, while simultaneously doing everything they can to void Arod's contract...

The irony.



George's kids are idiots.
