I'm working on Part 2 of WHYGAVS prospect week as we speak and it'll be done tonight/tomorrow morning.

The story traces the journey of the Indians' Carlos Santana, but could be easily applied to a lot of young Dominican players. Like Starling Marte, for example. 

About Pat Lackey

In 2005, I started a WHYGAVS instead of working on organic chemistry homework. Many years later, I've written about baseball and the Pirates for a number of sites all across the internet, but WHYGAVS is still my home. I still haven't finished that O-Chem homework, though.
