Yeah, maybe I was a little strong. I can't say Tree set him back--but he sure did not take a raw product and produce a major league star like we'd expected. Luke's draft status seemed to be based on his summer experience, not his LaTech experience, which has not been that great. Look at the numbers--lots of K's, lots of walks, HBP, singles...runs coming in. Overall, not great.
But our coaches' job is to make him better and marketable--and that has not happened. Poor kid--it's hard to watch.
