Nah, he just flicks the bat at the ball and meets it out front.

Keith Law says the wind inexplicably started blowing out at 100 mph right when Matt was at the plate. Both times. So again, nothing to see here. Keith is always right, just ask him.

A telling blurb from Arizona Phil about how backwards the Cubs are:

 

The Cub Reporter[/url]"]Hunsicker did the majority of the "minors" stuff.... he sure took Hendry to the wood shed last January, though. This is the first time the Cubs made a splash in the draft since the Prior signing. Was it just the ownership's lack of committing resources to signing bonuses that's been the system's problem, or were Fieta and/or Wilkens the problem? It would be interesting to know what Ricketts thinks about that.

 

==============================================

 

TRN: One thing I have noticed about the Cubs Player Development Dept that does not reflect favorably on Oneri Fleita is the apparent disinterest in using technology to help assess player development.

 

For example, most every other team out here has a qualified tech-geek in charge of video-recording the pitchers and the hitters at Minor League Camp, Extended Spring Training, AZL, and Instructs, but the Cubs only do it occasionally (they were video-recording Hayden Simpson a couple of weeks ago), and when they do employ video, it's usually done by one of the minor league pitchers equipped with a camera phone.

 

A coach from one of the other teams thought that was a real hoot.

 

Also, several teams out here use a system where the pitcher "charting" the game from behind home plate inputs the pitch-by-pitch information (type of pitch, velocity, outcome) directly into a lap-top using software that is specifically designed to analyze the pitcher's outing, and the Player Development staff can immediately access the info from anywhere in the world.

 

The Cubs pitchers keep pitching charts by hand (pencil & paper).

I really prefer Fleita gone, and fully expect him gone. Ricketts may want to keep him, but I can't believe any new GM wouldn't want their own player development guy.

I think he's gone, too. I bet Wilken stays though.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is it that Fleita does?

Interesting but unfortunately not that shocking....the bold part is not true though. I know almost every team has someone who records the players, but that person isn't necessarily a "qualified tech-geek".

And now his 4th.

KLaw is an ass.

Matt Szczur has 9 home runs in 124 pofessional games. Juan Pierre has 17 in a 15 year professional career. Im not saying that Szczur will be a superstar,but Law needs to drop the Juan Pierre comparisons.
