Great, now our recruiting is so bad no n of them are getting drafted.  Shut it all down now.  

[Thin Red Swine]

Silly me, relying on Whole Hog Sports for that nugget.

wiggins and lovich were the only two hs guys that got picked, while none of the juco or portal guys got selected.

diggs went undrafted.

diggs went undrafted.

Wiggins didn't get drafted. We'll have him for 2 years before he's draft eligible again.

[HogOfWar]

diggs went undrafted.

Oh no! That's too bad.

 

[Hogworth Ballington III]

Oh no! That's too bad.

 

Must have been the lack of power that got him.

[BASS]

Must have been the lack of power that got him.

IDK. I'm thinking it's the staring at home run derby balls right down main street and then swinging at golf balls outside for strike 3.

[hit_that_line]

Hopefully Diggs will still move on. He has a long recovery and we've got to trim 18 roster spots.

[piglosopher]

Since he's not only player doing this, he's being coached to do so.

We look like what happens when moneyball goes wrong.

And as stated by Dirk, Tyson Lewis was drafted on night 1. This was expected.

Well that's a good way of putting it.

DVH said in his press conference that no one works harder at the analytics a d teaching a swing than Nate Thompson.

That's all fine, but if you don't know how to apply the data, then that information is not only not helpful, but it's actively harmful.

hitting .187 in the post-season is poor teaching.

I'm not defending any of our coaches. They did a poor job this season. I was agreeing with piglosopher. Moneyball gone wrong is a great way to phrase it.

[jdcatty]

Didn't Diggs announce he's coming back today?

[Pig Benis]

Didn't Diggs announce he's coming back today?

Yes

[Spiderham]

Didn't Diggs announce he's coming back today?

Not a lot of choice unless he wants to bounce around the bottom of the minor league independent teams. 
I suspect he'd be a stud in church league softball.

While I generally agree, I am willing to give him a chance because of his injury.  I would think a torn labrum would make his swing difficult.

[BASS]

He wouldn't do well in church League softball. Too many pitches right down Broadway.
