Mags

The new Sporting News has some interesting items.
In the baseball section each MLB team's "untouchable" minor league player is listed.
Jason Heyward is there for the Braves of course. The Phillies "untouchable" was Doug Drabek's kid Kyle who the Blue Jays touched in their trade of Halliday.
Another player of interest was Marlins outfielder Mike Stanton, who Jerry Reese, Jim Donovits, Bill Mitchell and I saw obliterate a fast ball or two against Chattanooga this summer. He's a brute, but Uncle Charlie may get the best of him yet. Lots of strikeouts.
Former Brave farmhand Neftali Perez and his 100 mph heater fill the slot for Texas. He was part of that big package which netted us journeyman 1B Mark Texeria. Whatever happened to that guy?

TSN also unveils its college football All-American team
Georgia punter Drew Butler is on the squad, but Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan has to settle for "conference best."
The top team is composed of the usual suspects, Berry of Tennessee, McCoy and Suh of the Big 12, McClain, Spiller, McCoy.
DE Von Miller of Texas A&M is listed. He plays against Georgia next week. Let's have that TE do a little chip blocking, please.
