Not withstanding, Pudge is of the younger of players who has yet to understand
and see and judge the tools and talent of baseball players, and especially catchers.
It was not long ago, in April 04, where Pudge travelled to Frederick to watch a few college baseball games.
I recall his statement and opinion on the games as if it was yesterday:
" Ive seen them play, i wasnt impressed at all. They would be a decent D2 or D3 team, but i dont really think they have the D1 Talent."
And of course Pudge had the opportunity to
observe one of the best catchers in the state
last year. My predicts say this same catcher will be drafted this year, and maybe early.
Better yet this college catcher has the
tools to catch in the big leagues within 3 years!
One would hope and encourage Pudge to seek the glass half full scenario, and soon. So how about it Pudge, are you busting your butt in both the classroom, and on the baseball field?
Remember: You never know who is watching!
Good luck to you, as you complete yor HS Baseball career,
regards
