[QUOTE="Spurhunter, post: 5656816, member: 5695"] D Playing college ball at any level is a huge accomplishment so I'm not downplaying your achievement, but comparing a normal college player to the #1 pick in the MLB draft with a huge signing bonus and potential $100M contract on the line isn't a good comparison. I get that he's 21, 3 days rest is probably plenty, and chances of him hurting his arm are very slim, but he's already pitched more innings in the CWS than almost anybody in history. His inning count is way up there. If I'm the coach I leave the option to play him completely up to him. I would start someone else, hope I didn't need him, hope the bats are hot, and bring him on in relief if I absolutely had to. That's just my thinking. We've been discussing it at work and everybody has a different opinion. We'll all know soon! [/QUOTE]
