A New Barbarian Legacy?

Today, Kenny's team, the Florida Penguins made Conn Barbarian the #1 overall pick. Being Kenny, Kenny knew first hand that there was much debate within Kenny's beloved Penguins organization between GM Yoda and team President, Dan Patrick on who to select. In the end Patrick conceded to his wise GM who alledgedly spoke with Hall of Famer, Eddie to consult on the manchild. While the Penguins have a pitching rich tradition and Patrick really wanted to continue that with Tyler, Yoda felt Tyler was ordinary. "Strong in the force, he is not." Apparently the Eddie consultation went something like this:

"Barbarian?"
"Mmmmmm....him."

Eddie and Yoda are creatures of few words.

And Kenny? What does Kenny think? Kenny thinks, for all the power and for all the offensive skills the newest Penguin brings to the table, it is his baserunning that Kenny likes the most. It is clear, Conn will never be the fastest Penguin, but he has a good eye for getting on and stealing a base without getting caught. Conn reminds Kenny of a mix between his father and an old teammate of Kenny's...Jerry Tugwell.
