I saw him pitch in Arizona last spring though. He just didn't impress me on anything. Usually you'd say, "dang, that guys throws hard" or "that guy can place the ball wherever he wants" or "his stuff is flat out nasty". I didn't think one of those things about him. I disagreed with that pick from the second they took him. Undersized D2 pitcher in the first round? I know he had a great career but, "cmon man!"

I pm'ed him. No worries. Are Smith and Robertson in the game?

Awesome. I have no idea.

As for Simpson, you may be right, but there could be numerous reasons for why you got that impression. You said yourself that it was during spring training and even great pitchers look like really good amateurs at times during spring training.

Alright, that sounds great man. I can see where you're coming from with Simpson, so it's great to see the other guys get in.

Hopefully knight is able to see this message. If you remember me Knight, I hope I don't sound nit picky like a few years ago. LOL

Yeah, very true. I had never seen him before and was with another die hard Cubs fan. We were pointing out players left and right. I was like, lets head over to the rookie/youth field and see Simpson. Found his number and I saw him and was like in shock. He really looks like a 14 year old kid. Saw him pitch and sort of jokingly asked my buddy, "why did we draft this kid, and did he forge his birth certificate?"

On the Marlins, Mike/Giancarlo Stanton has a plate discipline of 98 yet he K's at almost 30% of his At bats. On the Braves, Jonny Venters is widely considered to have one of the best, most unhittable pitches in baseball, in his Sinker(being like the only lefty utilizing a sinker, its hard for batters to pick up and hit) and yet he doesn't even have a sinker.

Plate Discipline factors into walks, plate vision factors into strike outs.
