A Capra World Buzz report Staff writer/Tom Bradley CINCINNATI — He sat in front of his locker in the storied Cincinnati locker room. Hands tugging at his hair and a dejected look on his face. As reporters were swarming the locker room to talk to the players and management of the Roses, moods were low and morale was poor. It’s not easy to lose a World Series. It’s not easy to put in a 162-game effort and come up short. Cincinnati Rose left fielder Catfish Sheets seemed to be taking it worse than anyone else. “I just don’t know what’s real anymore,” Sheets said in front of his locker.

Price was the first-overall pick in the amateur draft in season 26 of Capra, and while he may well be the best shortstop prospect in the world, you have to wonder if his talent is worth the headache. Early reports from Santa Fe is Price showed up to the first day of preseason workouts in an altered state-of-mind. A source that asked to remain anonymous reported that Price walked into the clubhouse and yelled, "Time to get turnt up, b*tches." According to Urbandictionary.com, "turnt up" is defined as, "thee act of getting drunk and high to thee highest degree."
