I watched Cole pitch for the Lakewood Blue Claws as he broke into Pro base ball. Been following him all the way up thru his career. You are correct, he is the real deal as long as he stops punching walls and dumb things as such.
I can't wait for him to start.

I'm not sold...

I'm not sold...

Saw him pitch 2 weeks ago in high class A ball for Clearwater (vs. Tampa Yankees). Didn't make it through 5 innings there..... was very wild.

Don't know about his longevity... he is VERY thin...Will probably have injury issues during his "career"...

Again, I could be wrong, but I'm not sold on him. Chad Billingsly for LA is the better prospect, IMHO.
