re: Reid. How is this possible?

and he transferred.

Know how I know you’re full of shite?

Don’t want this to be a bash Pulmonary thread, but I’m trying to wrap my head around his decision to cut Reid.

How was his evaluation of him and our prospects at 3rd base so far off?

---

I'm happy for Reid. But, if I'm being honest, I didn't see anything out of him the first 3 years to disagree with the decision.

Are you talking about Webre. If so, I don’t even know where to start

PM saw what he had in Reid when he came and played as a freshman.
Three years later and three recruiting classes later we have not brought in a better third baseman than Reid despite numerous attempts.

It's not that Reid is all that great, it's the kids battling for his position don't produce in games as well as Reid produces.

Jake slaughter, Hal Hughes and Josh Smith are all better third basemen than Chris. All are better athletes than Chris. Chris just happens to have a niche that he does really really well. And that niche is seeing the ball. He rarely strikes out and he sees a lot of pitches. I love Chris Reid. Hell I was that kind of player. A terrible athlete but I understood the strike zone and I made contact.


But when it comes time to cut you go with the higher ceiling as opposed to the non-athlete who walks a lot.

Reid told Pawl to Go F&$k himself after a game and that did it.

I am not saying Bain was all world but he didn’t come out of no where. It wasn’t some fluke that he played well. It was implied that Bain just came out of no where which isn’t true. I never said he should have been drafted.

And even PM admited his mistake. Ceiling or no ceiling, it's about production. You can keep waiting for kids to produce, but you can't deny a kid who produces.

I also admitted it was a mistake in this very thread. But it’s a real fricking easy mistake to make.

Paul has owned up to it and rectified it. Chris has forgiven it. I don’t see why y’all can’t let it go as well

You have 90 upvotes as of now.

This shows how ignorant the rant is about baseball and why I nearly never post on the rant.

So clueless.

Walk on or not is irrelevant. There is so littke s money to pass around it does not matter.

It has to do with decisions being made off of commitments.

A coach makes the assessment. If he is wrong I don’t like the ability to just ditch the kid.

In pro sports it cost managers and GMs jobs to miss on talent. They make contractual obligations. I think to a certain extent college coaches should make and honor obligations. Period

I understand this is not the case. People are too timid to stand by their people or commitments now. Integrity is not in, winning at all costs is
