Sounds like a typical 18 year old athlete who is just realizing he's not a superstar. eh, being drafted will only encourage him if he was going to juco and not getting a football scholarship and only taken in the 9th round, I'm guessing it's been a somewhat humbling year. -

Re: Chicago Blackhawks 2013 Playoffs

That's the good thing about this year, whatever happens there won't have to be a firesale. Saad stepped up this year. A new guy will need to step up next year. That's the only way it's going to work with so much high-priced talent on this team. We can't keep the $3-4 million role players. And that's okay as long as the younger guys do progress and the team continues to draft well. I look forward to seeing Teravainen in a few years. So, as a relatively new hockey fan, I've wondered this....is the NHL happy with the amount of movement of players in the league? Subjectively, it seems like more than any other sport, player movement is a given. I don't think there's many/any players that play for a single team their whole careers. And I suppose that's true in a lot of other sports, but it seems especially rare in hockey. Movement is the norm, but you do have guys like Datsyuk and Brodeur who have been in the same spot forever. It's the one sport that combines the ability for some guys to come in at 18/19 and play right away, plus becoming a free agent very early. They NHL seems much more interested in dividing up the revenue between owners and players than limiting player movement. -
here's his football video. Can't find any info on college commitment

playoff heroes routinely sign bloated contracts when their playoff numbers outpace their typical regular season numbers. yeah, but it sucks having to replenish for a run every 3 years. i guess that's just the nature of the game now. Better than replenishing every 50 years. -
as he flails low and away for a lazy pop up
-
One of the guys mentioned that unlike some guys he may be the type who goes right to the bullpen. But September? Crazy talk.

So that's 5 college starting pitchers out of the top 200 picks of the draft going to the Cubs. I think we can call it a trend. Assuming they sign, you would think a lot of these currently 21-22 year olds will be in Kane County or Daytona next season. Everything from BIGMOFOS to little fellas.

At 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, David Garner's size doesn't intimidate hitters. However, his slight frame is not an indication of the power the right-hander possesses. Garner owns a fastball that can touch 95 mph, while his hard-breaking slider is his primary out-pitch. He has a free delivery and aggressive approach, and his electric stuff has led to 192 strikeouts in 217 2/3 innings pitched for Michigan State during his three years in East Lansing. At times, Garner can lose his control, as he walked 27 batters this year, while also hitting six and throwing 10 wild pitches. In his first two seasons at Michigan State, Garner was in and out of the rotation, but he made all 14 appearances as a starter during his junior year. He went 4-5 with a 4.10 ERA, lifting his career numbers to 15-12 and 3.97, respectively. Garner stood out in the Cape Cod League each of the past two summers, especially in 2012, when he was named to the West Division All-Star Team. In 43 1/3 innings for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, Garner registered 41 strikeouts and a 3.12 ERA, both of which were good for top 20 in the league. Before becoming a Spartan, Garner was drafted by the Reds in the 33rd round (No. 997 overall) of the 2010 Draft.

not an expert. I think outside the studs at the top, guys will begin and short season (Boise) and see time in Kane County. Cubs take another college RHP, David Garner from Michigan State
-
Video has him strangely bending over at the start of windup, wonder if he's going to have back issues
-
we'll see what we can do about that for you

Pepperdine RH SP another college arm

I don't understand what's so hard to understand where I'm going. Our pitching outlook organizationally is not very good. There's no agenda. There's nowhere I'm "going with it." It's just an easily observable situation. Like I said, it's not insurmountable. They'll just have to do a good job focusing their resources on acquiring pitching from outside the organization for the next few years. Also, non-first-round draft picks don't really matter and certainly don't move the needle. Maybe a couple of them per draft will magically develop into something useful, but there's no good way to predict it. Well then your post was stupid and pointless because everybody knew their status prior to you providing your opinion on the matter. You are providing zero insight into the matter.

A soft-tossing righty and a future reliever with major control problems at A-. Well, now I'm sold. Never mind. Pitching isn't an organizational problem after all. It's not insurmountable, but it's going to take some good work. Whereas you could probably just derp your way to an average or better offense for the next decade. I really don't understand where you're going with all this. We spent a decade with management that didn't know how to draft and develop a single bat, and they weren't particularly good at acquiring other people's bats. These guys actually seem to have a decent grasp on putting together a solid crop of position players (which account for more than half of what happens on the baseball field), and they have been decent at acquiring other people's arms as well. It just looks like you're fretting for the sake of fretting about AA pitching as if it's the only thing that matters at this point. They've already taken three college pitchers in the first five rounds. What the hell are you going on about?

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-6-13

Michael Bowden is really, really sad. Really? You can tell by that picture? Thats about as emotionless a face I've seen. What? His eyes look like they are tearing up and he's pursing his lips like somebody trying to hide his emotions. -
not sure why they just took a guy from a junior college
-
kind of small and injury prone.
