- and then you'll have juco guys- trying to go division i, and- then we'll have some- - - - division i arms and some bats,- so that'll be cool for them to- see.
But then you've- got guys like walker powell who- are trying to get drafted.
And- if he doesn't get drafted,- in this shortened draft before,- he might find himself playing i- that league in a completely - different role.
So it's going t- be a very unique league."
Mc-carty says he could even - - - - assume a player-coach role... i- he gets the green light, from - the indians.- the league is slated to start..- on june 13th.
One of the biggest losers in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak has been the sport of baseball.
