Like I said though, you're judging that now. There wasn't anybody that had that opinion before or at draft time last year. Cole was in the 91-93 range as a senior. He had touched 96 leading up to his senior year, but didn't get there during the year, so it had him down further on boards. Covey and Whitson both had better fastballs as seniors, along with good size - sturdier frames. Sure, Cole has some more projection, but that doesn't always pan out. Lets hope for our sake it does.
You're letting him being a National, doing research on him, him having success, and a little hope of him being a National cloud your judgement. Nothing wrong with that, I do that as well. Ive done that with Robbie Ray. Just sayin ...
haha i'm not being biased dude, i honestly believe he's the better player. i've done my research on all those dudes.
you can look back to last year's draft thread and i was ecstatic the nats drafted him because he was one of the best pitchers available.
