Yeah, Josh Vitters
He’s almost the only prospect in their system.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
#3 overall pick two years ago behind Price and Mike Moustakas
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Were they that bad?
I don’t remember them being bad enough to earn the #3 pick.

Dusty's last year was a bad one
66-96 in ’06.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Man
You would think I would remember that.

I didn't remember it either
I knew Vitters was the third overall pick, but I was trying to remember what free agent the Cubs could have lost that would have given them that pick.

What are the odds
We can get Dusty Baker back as their skipper? At least he is still ruining dreams and careers in the NL Central.

Yeah, they went worst-to-first between '06 and '07
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Gotta love the names on the Chiefs
Rebel Ridling and Junior Lake.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Dykstra kind of reminds me of Gabe Kapler
Running around out there like “Whoa, whoa, whoa…okay I got it.”
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Or...
Lenny and Cutter Play With Fire, followed perhaps by Lenny and Cutter Play Catch Through Lenny’s Prison Bars.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Man,
every time I read something new about Dykstra I like him even less. What a greedy prick.

Wow, this is some ugly outfield play
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Awesome leaping catch from Lawrie
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Lawrie hit that ball hard
Reid Nichols with the old “the ball just sounds different off his bat” line.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
He barely sounds alive
Then again, how exciting can it possibly be to be interviewed by Bob “Human Cartoon” Brainerd?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Nieves has been quite hittable
Not much help from the defense though.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Chaos!
Lawrie with just his second single of the year and, after some infield defense tomfoolery, the game is tied 5-5.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
He kind of looks like a vampire in his MiLB pic
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
By the way, for anyone wondering
The announcers clarified that his name is pronounced “Lorry”, despite the team informing them that it was “Law-rie”. I guess that means Brett himself did not pick out the name of his blog (“Laying Down the Lawrie”).
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Huge game from Cutter Dykstra
3-3 with a double and a walk and 2 SB. Scored three runs and drove in one.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
Lawrie just made a great play to get the lead runner going to third from second on a grounder
Good arm, obviously.
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.
