I'm kind of torn on this one; with number 1 overall, there seems to be a bit more pressure to get it right, because misses at that level call into question your methodology, and I tend to think that people genuinely thought he was that good.  He wasn't ranked any lower than 3rd IIRC, so everyone believed to some extent in his ability.  Baseball is just hard, and projecting baseball players is hard.  I definitely think this effect applies down the line a bit, leading to higher organizational rankings.  Whether this would affect top 5 overall guys?  It might?  really tough for me to be sure though.

He was supposed to be a 30/30 guy, perennial All Star.

If the postseason started right now he'd be in my rotation.

I agree. 3rd starter. I’m hoping Flaherty picks it up.

the DP has been our friend all season.

Kremer has had 2 bad months. 6.67 ERA in April, 2.45 in May, 5.91 in June, 3.45 in July, and 2.59 in August.

Hopefully this trend of up and down months doesn't rear it's ugly head in September.

He took a line drive off the numbers. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for this one.

[Sports Guy]

Surprised they are going to Hall in a situation like this but they also need to see if he can handle it.

He's never pitched this much, so we'll see I guess.

That 110-mph comebacker off Webb’s back ribs/scapula looked nasty.  Hope it doesn’t keep him from pitching at all, tho I can totally see how it might.
