Noon — Sluggers Go Different Ways

The best sportswriter in the Metro area, Washington City Paper's Dave McKenna, weighs on two former Northern Region stars, and how their paths have diverged only a little more than three years removed from high school.

This isn't the heavy-hitting feature I was hoping, but it's still nice to see that two local stars at least have made it professionally. One, Brandon Synder was scooped up in the early rounds, almost forcing him to sign a minor league contract (signing bonus!) out of Westfield.

Meanwhile, W.T. Woodson's Mike Bianucci just recently signed having gone to Auburn for a couple of years.

The real questions? Who has more notches in the bedpost and who has more money? Personally, I'd go the college route.
