And how many teams passed on Albert Pujols how many times? The MLB draft, moreso than any other draft, is extremely difficult to get right. Yes, I've been disappointed in the Cubs player development, especially at the offensive end. But Harvey was the consensus choice amongst scouts and others at the time of the pick.
The DJaxx are up 2-1 after 3. Chris Shaver singled in the 3rd, Walker followed with a single, Nic Jackson had a 2-out walk and then Brian Dopirak hit an RBI IF single to score Shaver for the Jaxx' 2nd run of the evening. Daytona leads 2-1 midway through the 3rd. Berg just gave up that run here in the 3rd. Daytona scored twice on a Sprowl sac fly and a Craig solo HR. Peoria is up 1-0 after 5. YUSUF wend deep for the 6th time this year.
Hey now, they're making him work more. After 1, he was on pace for a 63-pitch CG. After 2, he was on pace for a 72-pitch CG. Now, he's on pace for a 75-pitch CG. progress After 4, Capuano was on pace for a 99-pitch CG. :shock:

The DJaxx are up 1-0 after 1. Chris Walker tripled and Nic Jackson hit a sac fly. It's scoreless in the middle of the first in Daytona. Berg gave up 3 singles in the inning to load the bases (with one out), but got out of the jam unscathed. After 2, it's scoreless in Peoria. Davey Gregg and Ryne Malone have the Chiefs' 2 singles.
I'll step back, but is it possible that the entire thread be deleted considering I started the thread? Not by you, only by a mod. I don't see why it should be deleted. I edited the thread title to note that Stark said it, not Sweet Lou.
Hill definitely could use a 3rd pitch, but you can't tell me he's doing the same thing in the big leagues as he is at Iowa in terms of his FB location. He has only given up 2 HRs this season at Iowa - his FB location has got to be much better than it has been in the big leagues for him to do that (especially given his gopher ball problems last season). I'm guessing Hill is doing a few other things better at Iowa as compared to his big league stint - the gap in talent isn't that big.
Luther Murphy gets Mesa their 3rd hit of the day (a single). In return, the Brewers score 2 more. Mesa now down 10-0 in the 6th. Wow, it's a cool day out in Mesa. Game time temps at 10:30 was 88!
The AZL Brewers are blowing away Mesa 8-0 in the 4th. Oscar Bernard gave up 5 Rs (2 ER) in 2 innings. Rafael Dolis followed with 3 unearned runs in 0.2 innings (AND 5 walks, but 0 hits...yeesh). The only hits from Mesa so far are from Cory Vanderhook (a double) and Valerio Heredia.
