What happened to Josh Vitters...I'm guessing that he dropped off your "best prospects" list due to his <!--sizeo:7--><!--/sizeo-->lack of plate discipline<!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->?
Keith Law
Yes, in a nutshell. His whole approach isn't improving - if anything it's gone backwards. Great swing, potential power, but how's he going to get to it if he shows virtually no discrimination at the plate?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I was shocked by this. Shocked!
It's obvious that Keith Law just hates the Cubs.

KB, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear you are HAPPY when Hendry draft picks do poorly. Are you rooting for Vitters to fail?

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
