So I guess what you’re saying is that, thus far, everyone that has disagreed with you on this blog — be it commenters or people in sports media — have views that don’t make sense. Of course.

~~Do you ever post a dissenting view or do you just comb the internet for anyone that might agree with you?~~

Agreed. Since players wash out more often than not, I’d say every team has a hit or miss draft…

Your opinion on Scott Bittle doesn’t address the fact that he had a 16.5 K/9 this year. I’m not sure I see anything wrong with drafting a relief pitcher with that kind of effectiveness.

~~On a completely unrelated note: looks like “Living on the Black” is worth a read.~~

I’m reading three baseball books now at the same time. And, once I’m done with two of them, I’ll start reading “Living on the Black” too – so, expect a review on that here someday.

so it takes one scout out of the 1000’s of scouts to call this draft a “hit and miss draft?” unreal…

On a completely unrelated note: looks like “Living on the Black” is worth a read. Found this bit pretty fascinating (via Ken Davidoff):

“When the Yankees demoted Mussina from the starting rotation to the bullpen last August, Mussina was livid with pitching coach Ron Guidry, who essentially stopped speaking to Mussina. ‘I’d go by him in the clubhouse, and he’d look right through me,’ Mussina said of Guidry. ‘It was as if I’d become a ghost.’

“Prior to that, however, Guidry comes off as surprisingly involved in Mussina’s work.”

However, he agrees with me that Jeremy Bleich was an overdraft. The scout also concurs with my opinion that Scott Bittle was an odd pick at # 3 – considering how he projects.

Others strongly disagree with both of those statements. Big ups for being able to knock Hughes’ fastball in a discussion that had nothing to do with him. And for what it’s worth, Bailey did and does throw hard — all he had was a power fastball. For this guy to say that he never threw hard calls into question his opinion on everything baseball-related.
