Required reading this morning: this LA Times story on Nats #1 pick in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft Lucas Giolito, in which we learn that that kid who was once projected by some experts as the overall #1 pick in this year's draft and once threw a no-no enjoys playing the French horn.
And here's a description of when Nat Gio II sprained the ulner collateral ligament in his right elbow shortly after hitting six digits on the radar gun, via LA Times:
There was no pain, no telltale "pop" indicating a problem. But a week after throwing 100 mph, something was amiss with that valuable right arm. ...
"Ohhhh," Giolito thought to himself. "That didn't feel very good."

Ohhhh! And Giolito is on Twitter! @LGio27. And the kid hated math class, BTW:
