Campy's former Mariners Minor League teammate, Mark Merchant, joins Campy and Lenny to discuss the baseball draft and as a former #2 pick in 1987 behind HOFer, Ken Griffey Jr, he knows what these recent draft picks will deal with as they enter the highly competitive world of pro baseball. "Merch" has great insight on the expectations, the pressure, the will to succeed and also the reality of injuries cutting careers short. In fact, Campy hit a grounder with Merch on first and as he slid in to break up the double play, he broke his ankle and lost his great gift of speed at that moment. All the recent draft picks were shown on TV with big smiles hearing their names called and donning their new uniform for the cameras--but this is just the beginning or the beginning of the end for many. Great insight from a great player and even better human being. Mark "The Merchant of Menace" Merchant.
