Coach Pawlowski on Bush: Garrett has been one of the best players in the Jacksonville area as a catcher. He has huge potential as a pitcher because of his arm strength and size. He already possesses a sharp breaking ball and heavy sink on his fastball.

Do we have 2 14th rounders because we didnt sign our 14th rounder last year?

Nope. Typo on my part. Fixed it

It was just a mistake. He was our 15th rounder.

I like the potential here. He was named as the top pitcher and top overall prospect at a Baseball Factory event last year in Florida, and he seems fairly new to pitching after being a catcher.

My wife has this kid as one of her students. Was wondering where he'd get drafted. He's pretty arrogant for an 18 year old kid.

Oy, vey. Here we go again.

[McNulty]

Oy, vey. Here we go again.

Her text to me said, "He's a super super cocky kid which I hate but he is a good kid".

Here we go again what?

[McNulty]

This kid knows how to pitch. Joel Davis is a great coach who was drafted ahead of Clemens.

McNult... any idea about signability?

I'm working on finding that out.

From this article:

Pitcher Garret Bush of Jacksonville, Fla., went to the Baltimore Orioles in the 15th round. It will be a surprise if he doesn’t also enroll at Auburn in the fall.

Stuff from the BA draft blog

Stanton College Prep righthander Garrett Bush was one of the few pitchers who looked good in Sebring at the FACA Baseball Classic. Bush has a classic, projectable build at 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds with a loose arm and an idea of what he’s doing on the mound. He was 88-92 mph with his fastball that had good downhill plane and mixed in an 82 mph changeup and a 77 mph breaking ball. Bush is an Auburn recruit that was selected by the Orioles.

This is a direct quote from my wife:

"All I can tell you is I tried to convince him to go to college for 4 years and he laughed. He also did not like (another teacher) and made comments about how he was going to make a million dollars next year and she would still be a teacher".

She also told me that every day he would come in and write his number on her chalkboard. The kid breaths baseball, so we'll see.

The question is whether or not he'll sign or try and make more money after a couple years at Auburn. From your accounts, it seems obvious he isn't in it for the degree.

If his goal is to get $1mios, good luck at Auburn and we'll check in on you in three years.

He sounds like a real Munson.
