Seriously though, that is pretty messed up looking.
Ha, that was a good one. Got it right away too. :P

also, I'd like to nominate rick sutcliffe as one of the worst announcers in MLB. He just compared ryan howard to shaq. most of the shit he says makes absolutely no sense

From what I am reading about rendon, sounds like his injury might be worse than though. Who knows.
hahahahahahahaha, I was about to post that same shit about sutcliffe, but didn't want to get into it. Fucking idiot.

Yeah, I know his stock went down over the last couple of months. Still seems like a good pick for DC.
Sean McDonough is great. Seems like he'd be fun to hang out with. Love him busting sutcliffe's balls
I didn't know cole was a yanks pick. what round/year was that?
2008.
Dude was crazy comitted to UCLA. Yanks took him 28th and offered him $3 mil or something liek that out of high school, granted he's going to get a lot more now, but still. Grew up a huge Yankees fan too, stories about him and one of the more famous signs at Yankee stadium during the 2001 world series.

His career could go nowhere and he'd be screwed. It's probably a good thing that he got an education. Unless he went for some sort of arts degree.

Yeah, he only went for 2 years though. I won't knock someone for going to school, just wish he was in the Yankees org.
He was drafted by Pittsburgh though. Chances are he'll be available sooner rather than later.
Very true, no doubt he won't be pitching his whole career in Pittsburgh. Edit: I am pretty sure that sentence makes no sentence gramatically but you get the point.

I don't see him pitching there for more then four seasons. Unless they turn things around and compete, but I doubt that.

I think he comes from a rich family so he was able to turn down their offer. They knew it was a risk signing him.
It's common for guys to get drafted late in the draft if they have strong college commitments. I'm guessing cole was a late round flier when the yanks took him

I think these kids that pass up first round money to go to college are nuts. They can always take classes in the offseason or down the road if baseball doesn't work out for them.

Nah, he was the 28th pick of the first round. They wanted him badly. Offered $3 mil for a high school kid.
He was drilled in the at-bat before...if that adds any context to the situation.
he's a cock. he's got it coming to him when he gets to the majors. his antics won't fly
still can't believe rendon lasted to 6 last night. with lerner the nats could be on the up...esp if strasburg bounces back.
We don't yet know exactly what Washington's plans for Anthony Rendon are, but right after the Nationals took the guy widely considered to be the best hitter in the draft, there was immediate speculation in rival front offices that he could be shifted to second base. Indeed, some of the other teams that had looked at Rendon viewed him as a second baseman in the future, because of his body type and because of the shoulder issues he's had this spring. There is debate about how much power he'll hit for, and about whether he can stay healthy -- but there is not any question, some executives say, about whether or not he's going to hit at the big league level.
Mike Rizzo says within this Dave Sheinin piece that the Nationals think third base is Rendon's best position "right now."
Which means: Stay tuned.
Rendon and the two other Washington picks on Day 1 were Scott Boras clients. Stephen Strasburg is a Boras client, and so is Bryce Harper, and so is Jayson Werth. So little wonder that there is growing industry speculation that Prince Fielder could be a target of the Nationals in the fall, when he becomes a free agent.
What follows is speculation: Imagine what the 2013 Washington Opening Day lineup could look like, if Rendon is moved to second base, Danny Espinosa is switched to shortstop (a move that some advance scouts believe should happen) and Ian Desmond becomes a Mark DeRosa-like super utility guy:
CF TBD
RF Bryce Harper
3B Ryan Zimmerman
1B Prince Fielder
LF Jayson Werth
2B Anthony Rendon
C Wilson Ramos
SS Danny Espinosa
P Stephen Strasburg
Little wonder that some of the Braves players chatted the other day, as they looked ahead toward the draft, about how Washington is stockpiling an enormous cache of talent and could be a team to be reckoned with very, very soon.
By the way: Harper blew a kiss to a pitcher after hitting a home run, writes Reid Cherner. From the video that's included in this piece, it looks like the pitcher who gave up the home run wasn't thrilled that Harper stood and watched his home run and stared Harper down, and Harper responded.

Hit a home run, watched it then blew a kiss to the pitcher. I am looking forward to watching this kid play, but he's gotta cut this shit out.
