A piece on Luis Heredia from . . . Bill Conlin?

Ummm, OK. Here is a short piece from Conlin of the Philadelphia Daily News, who was watching the Phillies in extended spring training and was impressed by Heredia. Obviously his physical stature stands out ("The poised, 6-6 righthander looked closer to 20 than 16), but the piece mentions his retiring or Carlos Ruiz, and his mom's reaction. Neat little story, and really nice to see a 16 year-old Pirates prospect getting a mention in an out-of-town paper.

I hope Heredia lights it up in the GCL. Hopefully he stays on track, Id love to see him in the Burgh mid 2014
