There was a time when I lived in East Texas and I would often stop in Shepherd on my trips to Houston, since it's a nice and quaint little town. So I was pretty excited when Tyler Kolek was drafted second overall. It's a shame that Tyler's career never materialized, and the fact that Stephen was able to Majors this season may be one of life's greatest ironies. Anyways, fun video.

I get this class is weak and you need HOF players but I think it’s unlikely either Nola or Turner make the hall. They will both be close but I don’t think either make the cut. Nola has a better shot for sure, with the control he’s got I can picture him pitching until he’s 40 maybe longer. My knock on Turner is that I don’t know how he’s gonna age. He’s really gonna have to rely on his bat in about 2 years. His bat is awesome but the speed is also a big part of his game, can’t picture his legs and subsequently his defense aging super well.
