Big lefty 1B with power but who has crappy defense and a hole in his swing.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why do all of our prospects have a hole in their swing?

LaHair, Hoff, Pie, Patterson & Patterson etc.

The hole in their swing is one of the reasons why these guys are prospects rather than MLB regulars.

BTW, anyone have any word on Mike Parisi the Rule 5 pick up from the Cardinals?

He is on the roster but my guess is that his chance of making the team is about as good as any of the non-roster invitee pitchers.

I don't see much value in him and was confused when the Cubs picked him. However, he is recently recovered from surgery and it's possible he has turned a corner. There's hope he could be a decent pitcher if the Cubs had people scouting him and they truely felt he looked good enough to take a chance on.
