BDJ did a story on him this morning. Looks like he had solid numbers in a competitive league this year, but nothing reall stands out. I recall wondering after we signed him what the staff saw in him, especially since he's from NJ. Does anyone have any insight? If the staff goes that far to recruit him, surely they see something and aren't just trying to fill a pitching staff.</p>

I think Keith Dilgard was the connection here. He put the staff on the kid.

Soft tossing righties aren't really popular in the SEC.

it's this guy. I don't care for him, and I don't know why we wasted a scholarship money on him. Plus, I figure he will probably get homesick and leave after dealing with our humidity.

This is the guy that Gene was saying "may grow 1-2 inches" in the coming years. I mean, seriously. I guess we're going to pump some HGH in him.

That said, the guy will now probably end up being the next Pedro Martinez after a Stephen Strasburg-esque rise now that I have been ripping him.

He should certainly be able to get us to the 24 or 25 win catgeory

...and have never seen him play, but nothing about what can be put on paper makes sense.

- If you need to fil a roster, get someone from the area or JUCO...in June. This guy was offered early and signed early.

- Why take a chance on a kid from Jersey? How well can you expect him to mesh with the other players?

- He had something like 50Ks in 58 innings. If you can't have more than a K/inning in HS, you proooooobably aren't SEC material.

that we are simply going to be looking for healthy arms next year so we needed some pitchers who can play right away.

Right now, we don't even have enough healthy pitchers to fill out an SEC roster.

what are the names, ages and stats for:

1. This MFer's little brother(s)? or
2. Teammate(s)?

There HAS to be more to this story.

Or who's best friend was his dads?
