The Break, Day 11 Packs 61-66

I want to start off this break post with a thanks to my man, Mark, a This Way to the Clubhouse for yet another awesome trade. The gifts will be posted soon. Great stuff as always. And if you haven't dealt with Mark yet, you, my friends, are missing out. Clink on the link above to visit Mark's World.

Tonight we start the final leg of the break with this year's Pro Debut. I had to do a little research on the affiliates, but it is done. I'm going to list the Minor League team name with Major League team in parenthesis. As for the picture, I don't know enough of these players to pretend who's good and who's not, so I'm going to pick the best looking card or the team with the coolest name. Let's get started.

Nice start to breaking the young 'ens. For some reason, I've really liked this set since its inception in 2010. Just something different, I guess. What do you guys think?

Oh, and as a wrestling fan, I'd be remiss to point out the name of the third player in the break, John Hellweg. Although spelled different, the name automatically reminded me of Jim Hellwig. Who is Jim Hellwig you ask?

Recognize this Whack-job?

  1. How can you question the sanity of a man who had his name legally changed to Warrior?

    As for the Jays guys, Gose was already up in the bigs this year, and does show great potential in terms of speed on the basepaths. Travis D'Arnaud is the latest guy to be labeled as the catcher of the future. Deck McGuire was another one with potential on the mound, but he put up some ghastly numbers at AA this year. Nestor Molina was traded in the off-season for Sergio Santos and is now in the White Sox system.
