This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I've read just a little about him... by 2Domer

Apparently he is a really good athlete. He is the quarterback on his highly ranked football team in Illinois (Homewood-Flossmoor HS, I think). He has a good build for baseball at 6'0" and 200 pounds. I have read that if he were a little taller, he would be more highly recruited for football, too. I don't think he's at the top of the list of baseball prospects in Illinois. I suspect it's more a case of upside as an athlete, and the fact that he plays a position of need. Also in that same class is Andrew Yerzy, who is a very highly rated catcher from Canada (who hit a home run in the UnderArmour high school all star baseball game that I was able to watch on TV last summer). I think we will be lucky if Yerzy doesn't sign a pro baseball contract. I think Bryce Gray has further to go, but apparently he is a really good athlete.
