He's been assigned to Kannapolis. if Lee Fischer hits above .150 I will crap my pants. There is no future for this guy. he couldn't hit his weight with metal bats at Mizzou and the one thing he was good at, fielding, he stunk at this year.

Great reporting there, messing up on something so easy to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading this, thinking, I sure hope he's 1337, but that's a pretty bold prediction for such a low pick. Then I realize that's his actual draft position. If I were him, I'd brag to everyone about my draft number. And, yes, that may be why I'm no good at picking up women... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
