Marcus Stroman

It isn't basketball related, but I think its worthy of mention. Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman will pitch on Wednesday and then take a few days absence to attend his graduation ceremony at Duke next week.
Congratulations Marcus.

Congratulations Marcus.

I watched him pitch vs the Dodgers on TV this week, and the Dodger announcers raved about his command of five different pitches.

Congratulations, Marcus!

Extremely impressive. Even though he will likely destroy Tiger hitters this season, I still pull for him.
Congrats Marcus!

Worth noting that Marcus is off to a 4-0 start (3.60 ERA) this season for Toronto.

4-0 is not bad for a team that's 16-16.

Congrats Mr. Stroman.

He absolutely deserves to take a few days off to join his peers at Duke for graduation.
We love Marcus here in Toronto!

I listened to the Jays play my Giants today. The radio announcers spent at least half an inning singing Stroman's praises:

Highest Duke Draft pick ever
Graduated last summer while rehabbing his knee at Duke
Fell low in first round due to his height of 5'8
Steal in the draft
Wished the Giants had him (as do I)

I don't think you can be a Giant if you are 5-8, there must be some rule against that...
