Gerrit Cole / Trevor Bauer Quotes Pt. 1
Assorted quotes from Pirates GM Neal Huntington, Pirates Director of Scouting Greg Smith and No. 1 pick Gerrit Cole and No. 3 pick Trevor Bauer:
Huntington: "If we were focused on taking the player who performed the best this year, you're right, there might have been other options. Our focus is to find the player best for our organization two, four, six, eight years from now.
Huntington: "We felt he had the biggest impact for us potentially on the board."
Huntington: "Signability is an issue with every player who comes off the board in the first round. We're going to fight to find common ground both sense both sides. We believe we'll get a deal done, No. 1 because it's the right thing to do."
Huntington: "Scouting is about projection, it's about looking into the future. The performance of this year goes into it, but also when we're looking at a big, strong kid with quality stuff."
I remember last year in Omaha when Buaer was waiting to get in to close out the game. We watch him warm up in the bull pin inning after inning just freaking out the Bruins could not get the lead. He never got in and we eventually lost. This guy is a pitching freak that will prove he should have been picked number one.
You made it to the college world series, we can't wait to see you in the real show.
