Apparently, Josh Vitters is now a cautionary tale

I picked this up on Minorleaguball.com. When it comes to the bloggers on that site, I never know whose legit and whose just some guy. The thing about this guy is that hes a Red Sox Fan, so not just a Cubs fan talking about Vitters, so apparently his lack of pitch selection is becoming widely known.

Royals picked Moustakas right before the Cubs took Vitters. Oh....what could have been.

Wasnt David Price the 1st pick that year? If only the 2006 Cubs could have sucked just a bit more.

Or they could have just taken Jason Heyward. Or Matt Wieters. Or Madison Bumgarner.

Wieters is the only one to be upset about.

Yeah, screw that Jason Heyward guy. He is flat out awful.

I blame the Cubs for not drafting Albert Pujols.

Well, my towel was already damp, resulting in a basic puddle fest with that damn milk.

Yeah, screw that Jason Heyward guy. He is flat out awful.

 

I wanted Heyward in that draft but, given that I had never seen either play, I feel it is fine to defer to a guy like Tim Wilken who knows a whole lot more than I do about drafting prospects. The book is not closed on that draft. Heyward should be a good player but he's struggled this year (.233). In some ways Wieters has regressed. Way too soon to call this draft.
