oh hey he runs well and is a gamer, definite first round material.

[Outshined_One]

Is there any hitter out there who is not a gamer to John Hart?

[Mephistopheles]

lol mike trout lol

[A-Cal]

if the kid has made a college commitment...why draft him?

[sweetpeteman]

why is jackson not wanted?

 

strikes out too much.

 

ahhh...well...i guess that means we will take him!

 

 

Doesn't he have fairly low BB totals as well?

 

 

My question is, how likely is Jackson to turn into another Harvey?

[Mephistopheles]

all hs guys do

they've all made college commitments. It mostly negotiation ploys, commitment doesn't mean you have to go.

All high school players do, regardless of whether they want to be drafted. It's great for leverage and negotiations if you're a top prospect and it's a safety net if you fall way the heck down in the draft.

Probably not the best person to answer this, but would Colvin be a fairer comparison?

 

I just think if Harvey had gone to college, his problems would have been identified.

[Outshined_One]

harvey has talent

 

That about sums up my feelings on Jackson.
