Law doesn't rank Cubs minor league pitcher of the year Kyle Hendricks in his top 10 in the organization despite a 13-4 season and 2.00 ERA in 2013. Law said via email he's probably no better than a fifth starter without a "high ceiling."

 

I actually like Keith Law, but it's still fun to go back and read this now.

I'd wait until Hendricks does it in the majors, in games that matter, over a decent sample, before I spike that particular football.

I don't think Hendricks is going to sustain his performance from last year, but I believe he's already shown enough to think he's clearly much better than the description Keith gave. A fifth starter in scouting terms is a pretty uninspiring pitcher.

I can't believe neither of these games are on TV.

I may be the only one but I still like Lake

Dude is really giving it his all.

 

In other news, Blake Parker will not be joining the rotation or the bullpen because he is bad at baseball.
