The only more unlikely place I'd be then an Illini board is a Kansas board. or of course a Cub or Astro board. Nope, when I root for college it’s for Mizzou.

DG is the man - he really knows his stuff. Off-hand question for ya, Erik - are you the Erik who posts on Illiniboard? Great stuff, as usual, Erik. DG is the man - he really knows his stuff.

Off-hand question for ya, Erik - are you the Erik who posts on Illiniboard?

Outstanding read, though I strongly disagree in terms of who is more interesting between Stuey and McCardinal. Great Interview - Both on the Q and A side.

I just checked his milb page. Am I missing something? Isn't this just a journeyman minor league pitcher? Is this what we get for two more years of Tony? I agree the guy is a great manager. But - if rehiring him means selling a prospect pitcher (and a third basemen) at their lowest market value and receiving very little in return - well then this sucks. Jack Cassel - seriously?

I'm assuming him and Reifer will fight it out for the closer role at Batavia (Drew will probably be at QC). I am also intrigued by Jameson Maj.

Great control, 6'4"-225, 22 years old in 2008. Looking forward to seeing what he does next year.

As good of a job Strauss and the Commish do, it's a privilege to have a reporter who isn't afraid to stick his neck out and dig deeper into performance metrics that don't show up on the back of the baseball card. More reporters should augment their gut BS detector with a quantitative component. Very nice interview.

Thanks for running my question (those guys at BAnever take 'em!) - Herron really intrigues me. Also great to hear his take on Mortensen. I find it interesting how Parisi's name keep popping up. His numbers are a little underwhelming, so it's nice that they see something between the lines. Nice interview, Erik.
