Yeah, the Reds organization thought he was the next Cy Young or some shit. What a bust.

Same way in D.C. too! He'll sell out every stadium every time he pitches at least for this year I bet.

Good call on that one. Although, I don't think Homer was even 1/2 as highly touted as Strauss

But look at Strausburg (sp?). Touted as the greatest pitching prospect of all time! He set a few records w/ his debut start.

What off the field issues are you talking about? I haven't heard. Do tell! Also, I don't see an issue w/ him adjusting to MLB pitching, based on his numbers and his swing. He keeps the bat at a nice angle through the strike zone. Did some of the "greats" have these numbers at his age or in college? I don't think they did, but I'll have to do some research.

Dinan. Nice

Not my style (at all), but it looks minty

GORGEOUS BIKE. What Bimmer do you have?

I'm curious about your Sirius set up. What are you using to listen to it? How does it work out? Ease of use?

I love Junior! You also have to look at the fact that JR came STRAIGHT to the pros out of HS at 18....now he's going to be a HOFer. If Bryce Harper doesn't pull some dumb shit like Josh Hamilton, he may be on the same path, maybe.

I think he's beat to shit, but GLWS!

Well, Griff had a sick swing for sure. Have you watched any youtube videos of Bryce? I was EXTREMELY iffy about him when I heard of him on ESPN a while back until I saw the videos. Keep in mind, this 17 year old kid went to a JUCO baseball powerhouse and embarrassed those pitchers...badly. He played 62 games as a freshman and hit .442 w/ 29HR and 89RBI (I believe all school records). The record for HR in a season before Bryce was 12. This kid has all the tools necessary and a genuine love for the game (IMO). His biggest issue will be dealing with failure and not getting burned out on the game. He doesn't look beat to shit, but GLWS Bryce Harper!

I would love to take that one on, but that shit was funny as hell!

Didn't they say the same about Griffey? I'm honestly asking...

I'd like to see that myself!

I agree. You should youtube some of his videos, crazy fast bat speed. I'll say he will probably play a month of Rookie ball then jump to AA and stay there for a while. He will be a #3 hitter in the bigs in 3 years, you heard it here first. Strasburg got a record $14.1M signing bonus (also touted as the greatest pitching prospect of all time) and Boras will be asking more for Harper. I'm going to say $16-18M signing bonus.

I left my key on the other day and drained my battery. I had to jump it and ride it for about 45 minutes before it was good to go again. I did let it idle for 10 min and shut it off a few times before I said "fuck it" and rode it around!

I lol'd BIG time on that @ work

Yes. 17 year old #1 overall pick, as a position player.

Man, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that. I was unemployed for a few months once and thought I was going to go insane. It is hard not doing much.

I work for DHL, as some of you may know. We are always hiring people, primarily for third shift sorting. The work is boring and the pay isn't great, but if you need extra income or some income, it is an option. You can go to Advantage Staffing in Florence, KY and tell them Chad from DHL sent you. They will have you fill out an app, test out, and take a drug test (mouth swab). Feel free to PM me w/ questions. Trying to help out other riders.

Its fun though

Did you steal that from SAMBUSA?
