    I'm crossthreading, but Marinovich is Example A in why the hype of draft/recruiting is idiotic.

    Take it to the Reilly thread, pal! ;)
    I assume this is from the latest issue, which I haven't received yet. I'll wait and read it then.

    The absolute worst thing one can do for a guy with a known drug problem is to give him a shit-ton of money.
