Yeah, I saw he had a bad day today. But one bad outing does not a season break.

Nevin is quite long in the tooth, but he's a one-season expedient I grabbed with my last pick as a backup catcher behind Paul LoDuca and he'll also pick up at bats at first base, since he's got a more useful card this year than either Teixeira or Morneau. It did mean that I was happy to grab Closser as a catcher prospect in the XB round, since Mauer went to the fellow with the first pick there. (We don't play with the "extra" cards that APBA issues, but we allow you to take one player from that group as a futures pick.)
