re: Mainieri said Jake Latz won't pitch this season. It's official

I can't know exactly what scouts are thinking. But I can make a reasonable judgment that, if I have two pitchers who both committed to the same college team, and one was drafted in the 11th round, and one went undrafted after 40 rounds, the one who was drafted in the 11th round was more highly thought of. Its not like one went in the 33rd round and the other went undrafted. There were several hundred pitchers taken after Latz went in the 11th. Lange wasn't one of them. Doesn't mean Lange won't turn out to be better, or even that the scouts weren't dead wrong, but its kind of ridiculous to argue who was more highly rated.
