*Lake Buena Vista, FL*
With pitchers and catchers reporting this week at the Roadkill's ST complex reporters questioned why Jason Varitek was not in camp. GM Miller decided to call an impromptu press conference as there has been speculation who The 'Kill may select with the overall #1 pick in the upcoming NASBL draft. Sandavol, Carpenter, Beckham & Hanson were just a few names offered. Miller decided to use the ST media event to name Matt Wieters as Varitek's replacement.
A.J. Pierzynski has agreed to a one year contract with a club option for one additional year. Wieters is expected to see platoon duty at C and possibly DH. He will also use his rookie year to become familiar with the Roadkill staff which has seen major improvement from the '09 opening day rotation. Carlos Zambrano was added in the off-season to join Wainwright, Lackey, Gallardo & Nolasco.
Roadkill Nation is thrilled to add a player of Weiters potential and in a position of need with Varitek's impending retirement. The club will now concentrate on the balance of the draft to rebuild the offense after the loss of key veterans Vlad & Mags during the '09 season.

I was thinking he would go #1 overall..good choice!
Ditto Kevin.
I didn't think Wieters would fall to third, and I knew he wouldn't fall to fourth.
