Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (6/12/09) Tweet

Posted on Jun 12 in Friday Wrap-Upby Darren HeitnerPrint Share

Wow, it has been a very long and draining week.  But I expected as much going into it.  We have been dealing with the MLB Draft nonstop and will continue to work with our guys who were and were not drafted in the coming months.  Additionally, we will begin to look at 2010 and beyond to pick out exactly which baseball players we think will fit well in the Dynasty family.  Dynasty has also been in talks with various overseas basketball teams about some of our players.  They are commanding quite a bit of interest!  Jason Belmonte and other Dynasty Bowlers will hit the lanes this weekend in New Jersey for the GEICO PBA Team Challenge.  Check out live updates at Belmo’s official Facebook Fan Page.  Here are some stories I missed over the past week:
