Billy, this is Carlos Correa, he is one of the best shortstops in all of baseball.
His only defect is that every team freaks out when they see his medicals. I believe, if we wait long enough, the A's can sign him for $237,000.

1. Ensure fans can ACCESS their fave team & watch regardless of location
2. Employ people who really LIKE baseball to commentate on games
