Charlie Robertson, the 29th round pick, is the son of Jay Robertson, special asst. to the GM. I’m certain he used to post here under the username jayrobsdollars, or something like that. I wonder if he still reads, haven’t seen a post in a long time, maybe a year.

Makes sense, no?

Was he posting prior to becoming special asst.?

I was a lurker back then.

Plus it's possbile...

that he never migrated his account over to LSB 2.0, not sure what happens with the accounts that were never reclaimed.

Old posts are still there for unclaimed accounts

If you ever go back through the archives, and see usernames thay are greyed out (instead of blue, like active usernames are) those are folks that haven’t re-registered on LSB 2.0.

No, he came right out and said

he was in the Ranger front office. I asked him if he was Robertson and he never replied, and never appeared again. I figure he was one of the folks in the office that occasionally peep in to see what the fans are fomenting about and he got sucked in. When the whole BGL thing went down, the entire organization was probably discouraged from posting.

Heh, yeah

Maybe one day he’ll reconcile and we can all die in peace =)

KC drafted a ton of HS kids as the draft went down.

im really curious how many they sign, if they spend the money they have a chance to really turn around their system with one sick draft. if they dont pay up, im thinking they are lucky to sign 10 guys from the whole draft.

should be interesting.

Pitt did the same thing. its worth watching.
