Donavan Tate Is On The Verge, Reportedly

As you've no doubt heard by now, Donavan Tate has left UNC's campus and, according to reports, is very close to signing a deal with the Padres.

To me this is an easy decision for young Donavan. As I told my advisors Tam O'Flannell and Geleaux in an e-mail yesterday afternoon:

"To me this is a no-brainer. On the one hand, you could do two-a-days in the Carolina heat looking ahead to redshirting and taking some bs bio and English lit classes, or, on the other hand, you could pocket $6 million bucks, get the red carpet treatment at Petco, head to the Northwest League for some token games, and then fly to Peoria, AZ for a relaxed Fall of workouts (near Arizona State University by the way)."

As Padres fans, let's hope Donavan sees things the same way.
