Good recap of Pie's past.

[Soriano12]

good read

I shedded a couple of tears...

Muskat does the human interest stories very well. Great read.

It's also pretty cool of fonz to take him in like that.

[FergieJ31]

He's such a great kid - I've enjoyed every bit I've read about him. It's going to be fun watching him patrol CF this year.

 

One thing though, and I hate to be the least bit negative about the article, but about scouting and looking at athleticism, the toolsy guys. Not the way to go, and the Cubs would be well advised to not look past the next Lance Berkman or Prince Fielder type of body. We need guys that can flat out rake, not more track stars (again, this is not a knock on Felix).

Making first round picks and Latin American scouting are very different

105 MPH? Was Barrett joking?

Pie appears to me to be sticking to almost everyday with periodic learning sessions next to the coaches. He appears to learn much better than Patterson and he shouldn't be compared to Corey at all, they are two different players altogether.

 

Now that it appears that Theriot will start at SS the Cubs only need to look at RF which I can live with Floyd part of the game and a 5th starter.

 

Then they might be able to compete

Not to hijack but are you basing this off of anything at all?

[Abe Frohman]

Imma go run with a tire tied to my waist so I can get faster now.

OF'ers can put a alot more momentum into their throws than any other position, but that is an extremely strong throw and in the realm of possibility.

That makes sense.

Isn't the milk-carton for glove story just like Sammy?

Yep. I'm sure alot of kids use milk-carton's for gloves.

If poor kids in Chicago woulda thought that way we'd of never had 16 inch softball.
