[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 982528, member: 322"] I agree for pitching. Our pitchers come in and generally get injured or don't develop control. Our pitchers who get drafted generally don't put up great numbers until just before they are drafted. Or like Grissom (5+ ERA @ GT), never contribute much but get drafted on potential. [URL]https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/college_history/20124/drafted/[/URL] But we consistently recruit well for hitting and catchers. Defense we do ok sometimes. Or as you said, we have large gaps in capability. That is the problem. I think different guys develop differently. So there are going to be a lot of misses and guys who take longer to develop. Looking at Chandler, he exploded in his third year when he came to GT. Before that he had a mediocre BA in Conference USA (Better OBP and of course speed). In today's environment, we can't wait three years for a player to develop and take up a roster spot for two of those years. [ATTACH type="full"]15303[/ATTACH] I agree they shouldn't come if they don't have a reasonable expectation of getting playing time in the first two years.
