His baseball instincts leave me puzzeled.
Me, too.
quote:

Tries to steal bases in bad situations.
My personal opinion is he is trying to break Hartwig's base stealing record for a season.

quote:

Mental lapses in the field.
I'm not sure what you are referring to here. Nothing jumps out at me in this respect.

quote:

No adjustments at the plate during a game.
I've seen him cut down his swing after he gets two strikes. He started doing that after the Alabama series when he struck out 5 consecutive times.

quote:

He bunts like Shaq shoots free throws.
So, you would not have drafted Shaq based on his free throw shooting skills?

The rant '92:
I like Shaq and am glad he is with us but i just don't see him being the first overall pick, his free throws suck,i'd go with mourning, or Laettner

I watch him and continually scratch my head thinking how can a guy be so fast and have such slow and/or poor pitch recognition skill when hitting. The odds are against him, regardless. Many supposed five tool players who are drafted early never make it to the bigs, and he is not a five tool player.

Good luck to JM, I wish him the best.

Most don't make it. That's one of the proofs that baseball is the most difficult professional sport to excel in.
