Around SBN: Ohio State And Florida Target 2013 Receiver Recruits

A Thought

Maybe the Indians claimed Bryan Bullington on waivers in part because they saw their own 2002 top pick, Jeremy Guthrie, flop badly while putting up stats not dissimilar to Bullington's, then succeed with the Orioles after he was placed on waivers.

Interesting thought,Charlie;but if Bullington hadn’t made it by now with the Pirate organization,he probably never would have.

Hey, I definitely agree. The same probably could have been said of Guthrie at the time, though.

I don’t think it was the main factor driving their decision. But I’m sure it crossed their minds, and the parallels are interesting.
