PLAYER PROFILE
No player profile today. This section will become it’s own daily article starting next week, and will be replaced by a new feature in the nightly prospect watch. However, I’ve driven 1200 miles this week, including an all-nighter back from Pittsburgh last night, and I’m working on three hours of sleep. So the new feature will have to wait until tomorrow. I’ll have more information on this, plus some other new features for the site, in a post tomorrow.
