At least we have commitments from SOME HS players. And some highly rated ones, too.

You can do test pits looking for the utilities. But how do you know where to start digging the pits? The first place is where the drawings say they should be. If there then great. If not, then it's a crapshoot. Utility companies not requiring as builts of the project engineers and surveyors...

Yes, you really must look the part. Don't forget steel toed boots.

Yep. And yet he has a nice SO rate (10%), so he shows some plate discipline already. And the fact that he hits a lot of doubles at 10%of his AB's (i.e. - he's in scoring position immediately) helps offset a low OBP and a lack of stolen bases.

Yep, you're right. i stand corrected, I should have looked at more stats than were in the article. I assumed from his BA that he had a high on base percent. Not so. And I assumed from the high number of doubles that he was speedy, but he doesn't steal bases. He was hitting mid to down in...

This guy's stats say leadoff hitter.

Fer sure.

If his arm is questionable, I want to see him at third and not SS, since we have Antigua with the cannon arm.

Mark Belanger of the Orioles hit right around the Mendoza line for his career. His pitchers insisted that he saved them at least a run per game. You could look at that as 162 RBI's over a season. If Antigua is that good, I want him out there saving runs whether he hits or not.

A good reminder that we often don't know what we think we know.

I agree, UNLESS he can some way help us in the post season, but only if it does not risk his future.

All the way up to #1, no doubt. :)

That's true as far as it goes, but I don't think it goes far enough. For me, the essence of Pat Summit's legacy boils down to EIGHT national championships. So to restore that legacy we want national championships, and nothing less. So I would first want a coach who has won at least one of...
