I like Weeks. Especially because I heard a Reds pitcher would be throwing to him.

Granderson might be the most well spoken athlete (or famous person in general) I have ever heard speak/give opinions/analyze. He is awesome.

This derby blows so far. Prince needs to hit about 10 and then save some for the next round.
