If nothing else, Huntington has done a good job getting his scouts to think internationally. It’s one thing to scout Latin America. Everyone does that, even when Littlefield was in charge, he’s the one who hired Rene Gayo. But you never heard of the Pirates signing guys from South Africa, Korea or Europe during the Littlefield years. It’s a very refreshing change.

I think it’s interesting that we’ve signed no one from the Dominican this period as of yet (I think).

His delivery is awkward and unclean, and he has no viable second pitch, but he does have some run on his fastball. He turned 16 in January…

Damn, he’s already 16 and he doesn’t have a hammer curve or flawless mechanics? Don’t they have any coaching in Lithuania?
