In the late 1950's Robert Nettune's picture was taken on a fluke, when indeed Mr. Nettune's Aunt did not have the time to partake in such 'silliness'....A few years later, I think it was Mr. Nettune's great aunt or possibly his grand mother was looking at the advertisements for Gerber baby products and noticed the familiar face.

Dr. Nettune is a practicing ophthalmologist in Athens and the picture that you see today on Gerber baby products is that of Bob Nettune.

I stand by my claim although I may have erred in stating he was the original.

They are signing a lot of bodies. Following the Nebraska recipe, I guess....Sign a lot, split up the money, and hope some of 'em pan out. Actually, their roster only shows 4 graduating seniors (although one of them was the only guy to hit above .300 -- Salazar). They did lose Kershaw to the draft but have a lot of kids coming in anyway. Gonna get crowded at College Station, and some kids may find their $$ dropping....

Dr. Nettune is on of my wife's clients and she loves him to death. Says he is a great guy with that East Texas charm.

A couple of stories floating out there on Jake Bussey. One is that his grades were suspect and he might not/couldn't get into school. Another is that he hooked up with a 'consultant' who convinced him he was better off going to JUCO and trying to get drafted (what do you think the 'consultant's' interest in that would be?). Hard to tell at this point...

Nevertheless, Bussey is gone and, like LHP recruit Kevin Angelle, will now be at San Jac.

A&M is coming off a terrible year. Some of their top incoming freshmen (Kershaw, Angelle, Bussey) are now not coming to College Station for a variety of reasons. When you fire a guy who is a proven winner (Johnson) who was only making around 125K, and hire a guy with no head coaching experience (Childress) and pay him 500K, expectations are high. Going 25-30 with a team ave. of 25-30 doesn't cut it.

Solution? Blame the players, get rid of them and bring in the 'next' bunch of saviours. A&M is going to have to 'pick up the pace' with their 2007 crop or this scene will keep repeating itself (granted I think the commits from Aherns and Nettune are good signs for the Aggies but beyond that: there sure is a lot of talent out there that is still uncommitted and A&M sure did fill up their dance card in a hurry. You wonder how much $ they have left to spend).

I also need to say that I do like some of the kids coming in for the 2006 season. I think the Ehlert kid from East Texas was a 'steal' for them, for example. The Minks kid could develop into a top of the rotation pitcher and the Heard kid is simply a baseball guy. Even with the losses, the 2006 group is a good one (certainly appearing much better overall than the 2007 crop). We'll just have to see from there. Maybe the Ags have some surprises in store...
