Cody Kukuk. DUI last year and "off field issues" cost him some of his season.
Is he just a bit of a dopey young kid or are we dealing with a real jack ball here? Just curious on what you have heard about him because he sure didn't dissapoint when given a shot on the mound.
Love to hear some more about this kid too. Very disappointing about everything that happen with him this year an missing almost all year. I hope he was just having a good time an isnt some dumb kid who doesnt get it. Hes young an chances are just having a good time. Love to hear more about him but theres to talk about because of his little time pitching so far. Really excited about him.
I think Brentz an Reddick are similar in some ways. Both are good fielders an have great arms, ya Reddick is a little better right now on D but Brentz is good also. Both have big power. Brentz seems more focused an willing an soaks in all the coaching he gets an wants it bad. Reddick I heard wasnt fond of coaching critiques this year. ( rumor I heard dont no if its true) Reddick is very overrated right now. Good arm an D but his OBP wasnt great, he needed to take more pitches an be patient more to help his OBP an get good pitches. He slumped in the second half an I think he will struggle to hold a everday job on a good team in the future with out making adjustments to his game. Brentz has similar problems and his pitch recognition is not good right now he needs to be more patient but I believe in him an think he will turn into a good player.
