Heels in the League 06/06/09 (MLB)
06/06/09
Once again it’s time to check out the ex Diamond Heels in the pro’s with this edition’s of “Heels in the League” (MLB). As usual we are going to check out both the Major League and then the minor ones, where there is a couple of players on the disable list. Starting this week, probably Thursday, I am going to begin my look at each of the players from Chapel Hill that now are members of the MLBPA. Also, let’s remember a couple of more Tar Heels will be entering the pro ranks as the MLB Draft is right around the corner, beginning today at 6 p.m. EST, and the duo playing under head coach Mike Fox likely to be Top 5 or Top 10. So, sit back and relax as you read this edition of “Heels in the League” (MLB)…
