In the currently-still-ongoing MLB Draft, our Pittsburgh Pirates used their 9th overall pick to grab OF Austin Meadows.
Now…you know PSAMP as a place of absurdity or weirdness, not really stats and analysis. And the first thing that went through my head when I heard the pick was that Austin's name sounded like a park in Texas, or an assisted living facility, or a doomed housing community not unlike Arrested Development's "Sudden Valley."
So I went to Google Maps and went to work, aka typed in Austin Meadows and lo and behold there was 1 result. An AUSTIN MEADOWS MODEL HOME COMPANY IN OLATHE, KANSAS!
Now, I know the Bluths would never travel further inland than Reno, so a fraudulent Bluth company in Olathe would have to be a huge mistake. And they want us to believe this company is now a top-tier MLB OF draftee.
Good thing the Pirates also have a pick at number 14 because they blue themselves at number 9.
Go Buccos.
