Ah, the Zooperstars. No Clammy Sosa or Ken Giraffey Jr.?

As always, thanks for the info. It's nice to see Portillo and Hedges doing so well.

I enjoyed the article, as always. However, I am chiming in on the Zooperstars. It's everything that is great about America and proves that you can make money no matter how insane the idea is. They have a website as well as a contact us. Naturally, special guest time.

Kevin, do you think that Sano is just getting impatient because people are pitching around him and he doesn't want to keep the bat on his shoulder, or do you think there is a legitimate pitch recognition or plate discipline concern?

Kevin - could you talk a little bit more about Cowart's complete game? As I recall there some questions about his defense and holes in his swing perhaps hindering his ability to make use of his good raw power. Does the consistency from both sides that you mention suggest that he's closing some of those holes?

Also, the last paragraph is fitting for an old school Moneyball joke. So why am I not surprised that scouts STILL missed on Chad Bradford?

I was at the Kane County game on Saturday and the Zooperstars were there. I was going to write the podcast asking if the player they pick on is a good sign he is an NP, but the question kind of answers itself.

Lots of good info here Kevin. Thanks for the writeup.

Pat Neshek apparently sort of happened into that delivery between high school and college. I think the story was that his coach at Butler had to show him video to prove that he was throwing kind of weirdly.

I thought there'd be more comments about Kyler Burke showing up drunk but I suppose it is just an All-Star game

Someone like Joey Devine who doesn't have a Bradford or Quisenberry delivery, but is sidearm, would probably be classifed.

I couldn't find an Austin Wyatt listed at baseball-reference.com but did find an Austin Wood that pitches for the Angels' Midwest League team and a Heath Wyatt that pitches for the Cards' tram at Quad Cities. Did I miss something?
