Which always was laughable to me. The guy weighs in at 150 pounds and he isn't going to get any bigger. He has the frame of a 14 year old boy, but one who won't hit a growth spurt to fill out.

Mudcats tied at 6 into the 9th. Sappelt is 1 for 3 with two RBI.

No idea. I haven't even thought about it.


As for Dee, I saw him a few weeks ago when some Lookouts were about to hit in the cage and he looked like he was still in high school. I was baffled.
