Mitchell Report Day! Ready for Old News Repackaged as Fresh News? Cause That's What This Roger Clemens Business Is
By Jason McIntyre
ESPN’s new investigative dynamic duo spoke to a few people who have seen the report, but … there’s no actual news to be found. (Here’s a popular list of names that is circulating, but we sure as hell hope it’s more interesting than that.) Speaking of names … what’s the over/under on Scott Boras clients that are named? He’s got about 20 (not sure how accurate that list is), so should we set the line at three?
And lastly, our baseball friend (we’ll unveil his revenue-sharing idea soon) actually had a 1-on-1 “serious” Mitchell Investigation draft (the kind that goes 1-2-2-1-1-2-2-1 etc), and after the jump, how it panned out:
