Great Sun Article on Hobgood


Recommended Posts

I'm saying Matzek doesn't seem to give 100% out there all the time and his somewhat aloof with the press.

Bedard is the same way as he asks out of games and hates speaking to the press...

But both are extremely talented LHPs, but both have some major character flaws.

I think those flaws are the reason Bedard isn't on this team and why we also didn't draft Matzek...

Right. I love a guy who doesn't give 100% of the time.

I don't think anyone has claimed that Matzek hates the press. It's just that his comments after being drafted have rubbed some people the wrong way. For an 18 year old kid who just got a dream shot, he certainly didn't seem to care too much. Hobgood, on the other hand, jumped all over it.

I haven't read a scouting report that claims that Matzek has asked out of games before and I think Bedard would reportedly ask out of games because he knew he was getting tired and would prefer a fresh arm to come in and preserve a lead. Having been in that situation myself before in high school, I can understand the logic behind the thought.

I don't think Bedard was a spoiled brat. He just didn't like the press.

Hold the Matzek torch high, though...
