Easy choice here.

[Centerfield]

Agreed. Not a great pun by NewsDay, but still beats the other.

I went with Eppler. It speaks to the future.

Nothing says that you're not interested in really getting the story like using SOMEBODY in the headline.

I realize the angle is to tweak the LOLMETS for prior stories about guys they didn't successfully recruit, but there's a story here too if you're willing to tell it.

If the first job of reporters is to get the five W's (I'm making that up, but still), and WHO is the first of those, leading with SOMEONE is unfair to everybody.
