[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 302519, member: 2843"] I try very hard to NOT comment on anything related to the continuum of recruiting and developing players/pitchers. I feel I am not qualified or in a position to make any judgments on that stuff from up here in Virginia. So... don't interpret my questions as any more than just questions to anyone who can shed light about the process. If we accept that we've recruited players that are not 100% healthy (pitchers specifically)... isn't that a concern? I suppose each situation is handled case-by-case and you make your best judgement. However, who is making that call? Are the coaches equipped to make a "good" risk assessment on a player known to have physical issues? Do we have medical (baseball focused) 'experts' involved in the process to help with that assessment? We're in the same position as the MLB club looking to draft the player. Is the player going to be able to contribute... and grow/improve over time OR will he continue to struggle health-wise? Is this an area where Tech is not getting it right? Most of the posts on this, generally.... look at our pitching injuries as something totally out of our control OR in some cases, induced by our approach in coaching. Is the problem really a flaw in recruiting as well? Probably... all of those things depending on individual cases. [/QUOTE]
