Congrats guys! I saw Crosby pitch here in Grand Rapids many times. I hope we keep him and don’t trade him away for some has been hitter. Casey throws in the low 90′s and has a short, compact delivery. It’s great to see guys playing here and then watch them play at Comerica.
Come on EJ! Go Tigers! –Dave
Unfortunately, Crosby was never pitching when got to watch the ‘Caps this season. He’ll be one to watch come up through the system. I remember Sizemore being my favorite player on the 2007 championship team, though.
