"As snow flurries fell outside and temperatures dipped into the mid-teens, those seated inside Northfield Mount Hermon’s Rhodes Room Friday night felt like they were smack in the middle of a baseball pennant chase.
Sitting in plush leather chairs at the front of the window-lined room, ESPN senior writer Buster Olney and Baltimore Orioles minor league pitcher Oliver Drake spearheaded the school’s 10th annual Hot Stove League meeting....
As for today’s major leaguers, Olney said his favorite athletes to cover were Tony Gwynn and Mariano Rivera; he would have given the American League MVP to Mike Trout; he thinks Texas Rangers shortstop Jurickson Profar is the next big thing and should be the target in all fantasy drafts; and he could see five different teams winning the AL East this season....
Notes
Olney said he charted Yankees closer Mariano Rivera’s broken bats for the season in 2001.
The grand total: 47. “To this day,” Olney said. “He goes to me, ‘You shorted me. I remember.’”"
