| 2011-06-06 17:00:00 (link to chat) | Am I wrong to look at Cole and see Ben McDonald? (Steve M. from Shady Lane) | Not sure what they have in common other than being good college pitchers and right-handed. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2009-06-08 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Joe, what do you think are the chances Strasburg makes an appearance in the Natinals starting rotation this year? Is there a precedent for pushing a player into the rotation so soon after the draft? (Aaron from Boston) | David Clyde with the Rangers in...197x. Publicity stunt, disaster. Ben McDonald might have been a rotation guy in 1989, but instead signed late and made some relief appearances. I can think of relievers, but not starters in anything other than token appearances. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-02-16 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Reading your 'yarn' above about Rice; are there schools out there that are historically brutal on their pitchers and have a track record of their prospects peaking in college due to workload? (Gavin from Prairie Village, KS) | I actually think a lot of school, including Rice themselves have learned from some mistakes in the past, and you don't so guys get just downright ABUSED (we're looking at you Ben McDonald and Jason Windsor) as much as they used to. By the way, every time I spin that Rice tale, I hear from their alum, and not in a happy way. (Kevin Goldstein) |
