Uh-oh
The Cubs need another free-swinging, so-called five tool player like they need Keith Moreland patrolling left field.
"He has a great arm and has a tendency to air-mail some balls without hitting the cutoff man. It's just little things like that. He's a great runner, but he really doesn't know how to steal bases. He doesn't know how to read pitchers. He also needs to be a little more consistent swinging at strikes, pitches in the zone. He has a little problem with high pitches in the zone."
While this reads like a description of Korey Patterson from several years ago, it's not--it's Felix Pie, the Cubbies' latest can't miss prospect. For the full story, click here. It could be another long year, folks....
