I read Josh Hamilton's book a long time ago and he said he would purposely pitch worse than he was capable in front of scouts because he and his family didn't want him to pitch for this very reason. If you have a viable choice, always choose to hit.
I had to look up what those are but yes. I could see him sitting their making everyone answer his lame guessing game while sipping on some wine and stuffing his face with snacks. He of course wore a sweater the whole time. On Monday he told everyone at the office that he partied over the weekend.
This Copping guy looks terrible, much worse than that Phillies guy we just got, but I don't really care. Save a little bit of money and pick up a guy with options for org depth. Solid trade.
