Born and raised in Jupiter Florida where it's hard to be a Marlins fan because of the many bad decisions they have made. He used to come into my work a lot, I've seen some of his stuff from high school on the web. Over the years I've met a lot of the players and NONE of them ever have anything good to say about the organization they play for. I came across this thread when I was trying to see where he was placed after spring training and it kills me when I constantly hear people badger these young guys for not being up to par and labeling them as "bad decisions." I'm just saying that with all the flops maybe it has something to do with coaching rather than the talent of these young athletes.

Did anyone stop to think that these youngsters drafted had talent at one time, a lot of talent, and maybe it's the coaching staff behind them that can't seem to develop it? Yes Fernandez was a great pick and Yelich too, but other than that all i hear is people blaming these youngsters for not making it when it seems to me like the Marlins should take a little responsibility here since there have been so many fails. I'll bet if James gets another chance with a team who can work with him, he'll make it. Did anyone ever see him pitch in High School?
