Pass the Kraut

Here's a scouting report from a guy who used to be commissioner of a German Baseball League, who I "know" from another board:

]I�ve watched Gronauer over here in Germany multiple times. He is a good defensive catcher and a legit bat. While the level of the German league is worse than some College Leagues and certainly below Rookie Ball, he was among the league leaders in just about every offensive category and - for example - had a 20-3 BB-K ratio in 105 PA in 2007. I�d compare him to Justin Huber with better defensive skills. That�s pretty much the upside here.

Dear Mr. Gronauer:

Welcome to America! Where is the airport? The lady is ugly. I have three green apples.

perhaps i should follow a german baseball team, they are likely to send me merchandise unlike the assholes at israel baseball league who took my money last year with no hat ever delivered.
