It's Officially Official For Stroman

Medford's own Jayden Stroman has made it official and he is headed to Duke University.

Jayden, the brother of Yankee starter Marcus, committed to Duke this week, following in his brothers footsteps.

Stroman signed his letter of intent at Patchogue-Medford High School, flanked by his parents who surely hope that he follows in Marcus's footsteps all the way to the major leagues. After the signing Jayden went Instagram and posted a captioned picture with the words, “officially official.”

Stroman is a shortstop, third baseman and plays all over the outfield, and despite a rocket arm will likely stick in the field rather than try to pitch at Duke. Jayden had previously verbally committed to Duke, but with this signing he now has shown his full intent.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
