Round 14: RHP Timothy Crabbe out of Westmont College. Crabbe is from Arizona.
9 pitchers in 14 rounds and 7 are college arms.
Oakland takes a pitcher from University of Oregon. That's the second UO guy today- impressive for a program that is only a year back into action after being revived.
Crabbe is not such a good success story.
5.35 ERA, though only a .241 BAA.
However, the 'eek' part of it: in 72 IP, he did have 65 K's, but also 61 walks

I understand the emphasis on pitching. The theory is that you can always trade pitching for hitting but with this draft being so top heavy with pitching I'm wondering who's going to play in the field for Billings and Sarasota this summer?
Pirates drafted a 19-year-old C named Bako, but it's not Paul's kid.
