    Remember how good this kid was in college? Well he's pitching for the New York Mets "A" League club in St. Lucie, Florida, and he is struggling.

    I'm stunned. I thought that Humber would be good enough to pitch in MLB, because he was so good in college.

    Is "A" ball THAT much more difficult than college?

    Does anyone how bad Russ Springer was his last year at LSU? And he's STILL in the bigs... The aggie team of 1989 should have nailed a slew of studs, only Knoblauch lasted... and how MSMoo LOST the CWS in 1984 is still beyond me! No figuring.
