  4. Never thought I’d see Kevin Keyes, light tower power and all, get this far up the system. I thought he’d top out as Burgess light at best. Apparently, the light is going on for Mr. Keyes and he might make it to Syracuse after all.

    2. Not very. My guy says he’s not terrible with the arm, but runs and moves very slowly.
