If he's still available, draft him first round!

AC/DC + Tampa Bay Rays = Big Balls on a Budget

Not really a great pro prospect:

From ESPN’s Draft blog:

I’ve been asked a few times about Florida prep lefty Patrick Schuster, who has thrown three consecutive no-hitters. He’s not a great pro prospect — he’s a low-slot pitcher with a one-piece arm action who sits in the upper 80s. Guys with that arm slot can be very tough for inexperienced hitters to face because they’re not used to seeing anyone throw harder than 80 mph from there. It’s also worth noting that Schuster isn’t the only member of this draft class to throw three straight no-hitters: Shelby Miller did it as a junior, punctuating the streak by following two no-hitters with a perfect game.

Yeah but we hate him here now so that analysis is worthless.

Needs one more for a killing spree.

I believe you mean airstrike

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

No thanks

That throwing motion has Tommy John written all over it. We’ll see what he does at UF, if he chooses to go the college route.
