whitesoxfan101 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 So far this year, he has been a stud for Class A Daytona. 0-5, 5.75 ERA in 11 starts. 51.2 IP, 76 hits, 16 walks, 20 k's, .350 average against. How much did they pay this clown again in round 2, thus taking projected 18th rounder Tyler Colvin in the 1st to save money? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Looks like he should have stuck with football... I wonder if he is having the mysterious fastball sickness where his velocity has dropped from the upper-mid 90's to the lower 90's....

SoxFan562004 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 IMO that was a big marketing pick by a team that IMO often puts that ahead of their actual on the field team. The Cubs got to draft a ND golden boy and feed off the attention. If in Sept they need a boost of attention they'll drag his ass up and throw him in the BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimne piwo Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Has he done anything with that girly hair yet? I think he should have been on that Bravo show SHEAR GENIUS... maybe Evangelin could have put her hedge clippers to good use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 He better decide within 2 years or the NFL will pass him by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 If he jumps ship now or within the next 2 years I believe, he'll have to give most all of the money he's earned back to the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 DIdn't he or isn't he getting moved back to the rotation. I thought the move was temporary and they were working on a couple things than moving him back to the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He moved to the bullpen so he could get more chances to try to work on some other pitches. Additionally, he loses $10,000,000 if he leaves the Cubs for football.

He's basically an undrafted free agent. I bet he'll make an assload of money in the NFL if he left (maybe he could get that 10 mill signing bonus by playing football professionally with his initial rookie contract).
