Clicked onto the Baseball America website and there to my surprise was a picture of Bubba Starling and a feature story on him. The article is titled "In Demand" and the caption below the picture states "Bubba Starling could be a first-round draft pick in next year's draft." The teaser also goes on to say he has five-tool ability and is one of the top talents in next year's draft.
The article is reserved for subscribed readers (although it will be printed in a future addition of the magazine). It states much of which we already know, he is perhaps the top two-way player in the draft. By two-way, they mean he can pitch or play outfield. He is 6'5" with blazing speed. He is also a star basketball player to boot. This guy is starting to remind me of Josh Hamilton who had very much the same profile (and ironically was drafted one round ahead of Carl Crawford in the same draft by the same team.)
He talks about playing two sports at NU and how great the coaching staffs are.
This kid is a special talent. I don't know if he will end up here or not. But at least NU should receive some nice pub along the way even if he doesn't.
