Voice acting is pretty good during cut scenes and story-driven exchanges. It becomes incredibly repetitious during exploration, however, as both Spider-Man and the disposal villains will repeat lines far too frequently. We lost count of how many times we heard Spidey derisively say “I almost died… of boredom,” after throttling some lesser criminals. The music and sound effects are solid.

Smith fell a homer shy of the cycle Friday and then just missed it by a single on Saturday as he is now getting a chance to start every day and bat third in the Friars’ lineup. You might want to peek at his numbers because they are pretty darn good. All this guy has done is hit .531 (17-for-32) in his last eight games with a homer, seven RBI, seven doubles, and three triples. Are you kidding me? Smith’s 994 OPS seems almost absurd, but not as absurd as Fantasy owners continually overlooking this guy.

Last year, Hermida showed good on-base skills in the Indians’ organization, but never got the call to Cleveland.

Every year we hear the same ol’ song and dance from coaches and general managers around the league as the draft draws near: “We plan on drafting the best player left on our board.” While that is the best long-term approach, the harsh reality of today’s NFL is that coaches only get a couple years to turn around an organization, so more often than not teams draft to fill needs, at times ignoring the higher talent in order to fill a void on the roster.
