Let me see if I can enlighten some of you on the supposedly, all the errors, that Pugh committed. I saw a lot of games that paintsville played last year and I don't recall these errors. Yes he had some errors but I think a lot of these resulted in the range he had getting to ball's that were deep in the hole to either side of him. I saw a few E's given to him because the 1st baseman was out of position, stretches out before the throw was delivered, and couldn't handle the short hop. Had Grim been at 1st I think a lot of those balls would have been handled. His range was excelent. He knocked balls down that no one else on this team could have gotten to. The only other kid to get to as many balls as Pugh would have been the Blanton kid at JC IMO.
As far as arm strength goes you can't compare Van Hoose to Pugh becaus JD has yet to show his. He's had arm trouble since the 8th grade.
What you people need to do is look at Mr. Kimble's posts, from what I've he seems to be one of a very few who can evaluate a player pretty well.
