~~<p>Billy Hull and I took a break from our NCAA hoops brackets this week to hold a draft. The Star-Advertiser's University of Hawaii baseball beat writer joined me in trying to predict the first 'Bow To The Show from coach Mike Trapasso's first decade at UH.</p>
<p>There are enough ex-Rainbows with a legitimate chance to make it to the bigs that we could pick at least four each. Whoever breaks the tape will be the first UH alum to play in the majors since Scott Karl of the Angels and Jay Spurgeon of the Orioles both threw their final pitches on Sept. 28, 2000. Mark Johnson also pitched in a few games for Detroit earlier in the season. (In case you were wondering, Glenn Braggs was the first Rainbow to play in the majors, debuting July 18, 1986, with the Milwaukee Brewers.)</p>
