It will be seen as crazy in some circles I’m sure, but I don’t hate it. Keep in mind, pre 21 draft, there were Bob Gibson comps out there. Now there is only one Bob Gibson, but to be mentioned in the same breath is beyond high praise.
Go read what I wrote about the potential picks. I said I would take Brooks Lee if I were in charge. I asked Jeff the same question and he said Kumar Rocker. WOW!!!! Just WOW!! I would have never taken him.
I didn’t think they had the stones to do it. It’ll be interesting to what how everything unfolds with Rocker the rest of this season. Sounds like he wants to pitch.
The Rangers track record for signing players with questionable injury status is not good. However, Leiter may have had some inside info to share. At any rate, likely worth the risk.

I did read your article and I also would have taken Lee, but I’ll admit I like the ballsy approach here.

It helps that they were able to get the Porter kid in the fourth round. It could be a great draft. We’ll know in 3-5 years.
