    I could see him going to Korea and taking the Thames route. Don't think he'll ever find the work ethic to make him successful if he stays stateside.

    Unfortunately for him, Korea's laws on pot are some of the most draconian in the developed world.

    I remember being unbelievably excited to go to MMP to watch him and George Springer play.

    Funny how things change.

    Is he really only 26? His signing that contract, and the ensuing drama, feels like ancient history...

    He should go back to being referred to as Jonathan.

    Jon Smokeaton has no desire to play in the majors. He reached his goal of 420 PA.
