I don't know if you were lurking around back for that draft, but I wanted the Reds to draft anyone not named Drew Stubbs. Personally, I wanted Billy Rowell, but as long as they didn't go with Stubbs I was going to be ok with it. Well they went with Stubbs. Stupid decision at the time if you would have asked me. Regardless though, Stubbs is ours. This is a Reds website. Everytime someone brings up Drew Stubbs, someone, or hords of someones jump in to yell about Tim Lincecum.

Interesting that you say that...this is from Olney's blog today:

Tim Lincecum on Saturday: 29 batters faced, and only three of those saw hitters' counts of 2-0 or 3-1.

I think a lack of control isn't as much of a red flag when it comes to youngsters as some believe. Control can come around.
