| 7 weeks 1 day ago | B1G Tournament |
In order to make the B1G tournament you need to finish in the top 6 in the league. Michigan finshed 2011 in 10th (Last, Wisconsin doesn't have a baseball team) place. In 2012, UM is presently in 11th place (Last) in the B1G. However, it is still early. MSU series this weekend looms large. I am not optimistic for the series this weekend. UM even making the B1G tournament would be an unlikely turnaround. If Maloney is not on the hot seat, he should be. Given the shove out the door Brandon just gave Borseth, I would think Maloney would be next on his list. Frankly, I think Jake Boss owns Rich Maloney which is unbelieveably frustrating. |

Pitcher was pretty proud of it as I recall. |
| 13 weeks 1 day ago | TC the Ump/Ref |
I know TC. TC was infamous around Metro Detroit a few years back. He was a very active Referee in Hoops and Football and Umpire in Baseball for High School and Travel. He was involved in some very controversial calls as such, particularily in Baseball. One was a call in a MHSAA regional baseball game my son played in on an interference non-call. I talked to him a few times when he was supervising/evaluating other umpire in my son's High School press box while I was running the scoreboard. I liked this book, not because TC is a very talented writer, but because he had the determination to write it on such an obscure topic that I liked that wasn't likely to have much success commercially. TC put a lot of effort into what he was trying to do (Ref'ing/writing) he just wasn't very successful at any of it. How ever, I think TC is a nice guy. I believe he left Detroit a few years ago for the Baltimore/DC area. I think if was to follow his wife's career and to continue to try to be successful writer. I've attached this URL for a blog he used to publish associated with the Oakland press. The last entry was 2009.

| 13 weeks 3 days ago | I was a freshman in 1976-7 |
In 1976-7. In FB, UM was #1 in the nation at the beginning of the year, Won the Big 10, Beat Ohio, went to Rose Bowl. In BB, UM was #1 in the nation at the beginning of the year, #1 in the nation at the end of the year, Won the Big 10, lost in the elete 8. In Hockey, UM lost in OT in the National Championship game. (At the Olympia in Detroit). UM doing nicely, but nowhere near their best ever. Hell, they'll do better next year. |

What Summer team did he play for last year? |
| 2 years 12 weeks ago | Not from Springfield, OH |
Holland Ohio, as in 3rd exit south of the Ohio / Michigan border off US-23. |

The Lemarre injury hurts. Hopefully, he will be back by the start of the big 10. Pitching, specifically pitching depth will define this team. It's still early, but not a great start. |

Projections during Putnam's junior year in high school had him as a top 5 pick in the MLB draft coming out of high school. I think that was the hype formerly and I were talking about. Many don't live up to hype of their high school years. A classic example of that in ex-UMer Drew Henson, the most hyped Michigan High School baseball player in memory. Since then his projection has gone steadily down. Including his 5th round draft status and the scouting report you attached. Based on that report so far he hasn't lived up to the "hype". And unless he becomes a bit of a late bloomer, I guess he never will. However, several UM'ers have overachieved on an MLB level. Jake Fox, J. J. Putz and Chris Getz come to mind. Adding to the confusion about Putnam, in his high school years he projected more as a hitter, than as a pitcher. I guess over the next few years we'll find out. |

Well, I've got to see him in the Majors before I buy the lived up to the hype. He didn't exactly light up the AFL last fall. I'm concerned he has an arm problem. At a minimum he seems stuck and other pitchers in the Indians organization are rocketing past him. I've seen lots of top 100-200 prospect in Minor League Baseball lists and Putnam isn't listed. Scout's Indian's site is putting out a series of articles on their top 193 prospects. They have listed 193-75 so far. Putnam and Recknagel aren't listed yet. Abraham is 98 and Pickens is 106. It will be interesting to see where Drew and Nate are listed. I doubt Drew will be in the top 10. |

A yard is 36 inches. A meter is 39.37 inches. Any questions? |
