The Marlins took Joshua Hodges,

a 6' 6" pitcher from Ingomar, in the 7th round. Did this kid sign with anyone? I don't remember ever seeing or hearing his name.

I've also been waiting to see Pomeranz come off the board and just realized he's only a sophomore. I'm not looking forward to facing him again. Assuming his arm doesn't fall off, or course.

Hodges, from what I understand is very, very raw. I know he signed with a JUCO, I want to say Itawamba.

He throws in the low 90's, but he played at a 1A school, Ingomar. He needs a lot of coaching.

I'll say this, Larry Beinfest is very good at identifying high school pitchers, getting them into the organization and letting them develop. If the Marlins used a 7th round pick on him he must have the potential to be very good.

Living the that part of the world, I hear he is a head case of Ricky Vaughn proportions.</p>

The Marlins love him. Their scout sad he is raw but he has all the ingredients, and I know how to bake the cake. They scouted him several games. He has hired an agent. I will be surprised though if he is grown up enough to take the licks of pro ball. He is a big *****.</p>

Yea, from what I've heard he's a mental midget. I'm pretty sure he didn't graduate, maybe a reason we did not go after him much (poor grades = wasn't getting in anyway)...
