Alright guys, lets hear your thoughts on this kid...
Number one draft pick at 17 years old. Graduated high school early so he could play JUCO ball where he did really really well (hit 31 bombs this season, with a wood bat. almost unheard of at that level).
As a former player, I have my own opinions on the kid. And having a brother in the minor leagues right now, he has shared his thoughts on it. I would be curious to hear from some of you folks.
How would you feel as a parent letting a 17 year old go play professional baseball (not exactly the healthiest environment, especially in the minor leagues)? As former players what are your thoughts? As a regular sports fan?
Sound off gentlemen.
Ozz
