[QUOTE="Squints, post: 149303, member: 822"] Disagree. College coaches destroy pitchers (I would point to Pitts as an example. We rushed him back from surgery big time). The minor leagues are a much more protected environment than college. There's no pressure to win and (the good) professional level coaches won't let bad habits go ignored just because of results. It's a pretty commonly held belief that if you have professional aspirations it's better to get professional level coaching sooner rather than later. The job of a college coach is to win and the job of minor league pitching coach to move you up the ladder. I have no doubt that the Tigers minor league player development staff can do more to get you closer to the majors than the coaches here. Not a knock on our guys that's just the way it is. Could also be a money thing. Even though he's got the size and stuff scouts look for I don't have a clue where he was projected but if the 14th round was way higher than he expected to be drafted the next couple of years based on the information he had then I don't blame him for taking the money. That's part of the economics of the draft since they introduced pool spending. School's not going anywhere. It'll be here if he doesn't make it. And I'm not worried about his numbers. I try to keep tabs on guys we get drafted so I know his numbers. But he's only thrown 32 innings. It looks like he's had a rough start this year which tanked the numbers. But it's a very small sample. Though I'm not sure how realistic his chances were to begin with. [/QUOTE]
