September 14, 200719 yr I know he's a lefty, but why did he go so high? I wasn't able to see him, his numbers are good, but nothing amazing, 1.42 whip? 8.85 k/9, not exactly a great strikeout guy. But i haven't seen him, what's so special about him?
September 14, 200719 yr I'll give you a few reasons: 1. David Littlefield. Enough said. Thank G-d his ass got canned. 2. The Boras issue with Matt Wieters. We in Pittsburgh could understand a bit about not wanting to go toe-to-toe with a Boras client, but Baltimore did and practically won. Plus, with the position the Pirates are perpetually in, there is NO way the Pirates can avoid a Boras client. 3. The Nuttings are moneygrubbing pennypinchers.
