    Smart of him to spend the time in college. I hope he finishes in the future. We need smart baseball players.

    #37. What ? A pitcher, eh? The 17th most wanted pitcher? Ontario High School. Who knows, eh? So much for the big boom. Oh well. I hope we don't get another opportunity for the 1-1 pick in my lifetime.

    No pitcher at #35, with 16 already gone. We need another outfielder.

    I am just upset because of what I thought. Sure, I read and watched, and even watched Greene in person because I was very close (8 miles) and could, and this team needs pitching and an ace! .... not another guy that maybe won't stick at a position. I generally dislike High School players in the upper rounds. I just will not put scouts on a pedestal, and feel a lot of people could do the job if given the chance.

    Nothing happens.......... until it does. Nobody came back from a 0-3 deficit in the World Series.... forever...... until they did. There was never a draft with these unique opportunities before. It is good fodder for the talking heads, though. They need a lot of time to fill.

    Well, among other things, I live out here and went to 3 games at Notre Dame High School. It was a radar gun zoo. The parents of the other teammates hated it as the hoards got there early and took all the seats, and the parents and family and students, etc, got the shaft. They were happy he was shut down. It is a good plan to let the important development be done at a much more advanced watch, don't you think? No one knows the future, agreed, but we all have opinions, and isn't that what the comment section is for? And as for the many years' scouts, they all missed Trout, and many many others. They just get paid to watch. I have never been to impressed in general.

    Meanwhile, at Target field.................. the Giant's cast off has imploded again, and our former first rounder is no relief and gives up the next two inherited runs for a 9-2 deficit after 4. Pitching pitching pitching. 12 pitchers gone through 26 picks.

    Again, as it was posted earlier, it is reported that was a mistake, and what surprised McKay. Tampa was wanting McKay to be announced as a two way player. He was rightfully annoyed and surprised.

    The pitcher with the highest ceiling wasn't even the second choice of this Front Office. Telling.
  10. h2oface
    No. That is what you said, and quite well. I say what I want to say. I really don't know what your point is in engaging me now. I have the right to my opinion, as do you, your's. I have nothing for you further here.
  11. h2oface
    OK. Whatever. The Reds suck at picking, too, if you like. Still livid. They didn't pass on Greene when they had the opportunity, though.
  12. h2oface
    Falvey apparently just doesn't like to use the number one pick for the number one pick. Not in rule 5, and not here. How many times do you get that pick? Hopefully never, because you are winning. But when you do............ still livid in SoCal. The Reds didn't miss it. They know a 1-1 when they see it.
  13. h2oface
    Seems there was some confusion, and Tampa wanted him announced as a two way player. McKay was noticeably surprized.
  14. h2oface
    Good for McKay. Entitled is the system. The individual, no matter when, has the right to take control of ones career. This is a lot of supposition here.
  15. h2oface
    Wow. Falvey and Levine - soooo disappointed. Give them a team and the number one pick, and they take a # 7 or lower. No guts no glory. Who needs pitching anyway. Better to get a HIGH SCHOOL SHORTSTOP THAT HAS A NOODLE ARM and give him millions to play in the minors. I hate this.
  16. h2oface
    Good. Best to go Greene.
  17. h2oface
    Span never would dive for the ball. That damn butt slide for the Santana ball..... it should have been caught. Span never had the right stuff. I am so glad we have outfielders now that will dive and slide on their belly for a catch! I don't miss Span at all....... but Aaron Hicks is another subject.
  18. h2oface
    Scouts? The same ones that were so right about Trout? The professionals.
  19. h2oface
    Kintzler pitches ninth again. Big sigh of relief. Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc............
  20. h2oface
    All I am saying is........ that I would rather have a bright star that burns quick, and shines bright, than a long term innings eater middle of the road pitcher.
  21. h2oface
    Don't you just love the strategy of being so bad you get the number one pick, and then you take a number 9 at number 1, just to save a couple million to pay a 30 something? And you totally don't take advantage of the number one overall pick. Not my style.
  22. h2oface
    ?? 43 Ks in 28 innings this year. They shut him down on the mound in April. Parents want to save the arm and development for pro ball. http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/hunter-greene/uMJm9ZrFEeOzMAAmVebBJg/gendersport/baseball-stats.htm

    Interesting, that when the predictions for the NCAA basketball tourney are looked back on, the talking heads that told us what would happen, don't fare well. I agree that the science is not to be denied. If Greene can do what he does now without his legs "strong enough", just imagine what can be with legs becoming strong enough, and used more! I will take 4 great Lincecum years, more than a 4 ish ERA inning eater (Brake Radke?) that last a longer time. All pitchers are going to break down. Their time, like running backs, is limited, and they know that going in, or should. Even with the science, we are guessing, just convincing ourselves it is a better guess with better probabilities. Until they go down anyway. Which they do with ever increasing frequency, regardless of the better knowledge and science. It's fun to talk about, though. And then there are unexplainable occurances, like Sandy Koufax (bright and quick and violent delivery) and ageless Nolan Ryan, and Randy Johnson...... and Clayton Kershaw.

    Rosario does fine fresh out of the pen. Let him sit in the dugout for a half inning, and it all goes to hell.

    I met his dad at the games I saw. Nice guy. Definitely the family is hoping for San Diego, he even said so, and that is influencing the son. Seems to me it would be best to not be close to helicopter family, for over all becoming. He said they have modeled Hunter's training after the San Diego philosophy, whatever that means.
