Is this guy even on anyone's roster. What about deep dynasty's 40 players non IDP.

Baseball rosters maybe...not football.
Second that motion. The cubbies own him.

I understand he plays baseball but he is stinking it up in "A" league, Maybe he will give football a chance?
Well, something tells me he can't just walk out of baseball unless he doesn't want his money, and I bet a young kid will stay with that kind of money regardless of how well he's doing.
There are way too many fish in the sea to consider drafting someone in a different sport that has shown no signs of wanting out of baseball. Look the other way on this thought. Even if you want him then wait until he's done with baseball officially, then take him. No one will go for him then anyway. He'll be undrafted and you can pick him up with the last pick in your draft.

Minor League StatsHe's under a 5 year contract with the Cubs with a big signing bonus so it will likely be a few years before the Cubs give up on him.

I would still hold him if you have the space. He could be a steal. Never know if/when he wants to play football again or has arm issues.

The Shark put up some great numbers, but I have doubts about his skill set translating to the pros.

Cecil, how would compare his prospects to say...Maurice Stovall (who appears to be making great strides in TB)? Obviously this is a hypothetical question.
Yes, I would definitely make sure you get this guy if you have the roster spot. I'm taking him, but we have 15 Reserve Spots for Minor Leaguers in our Baseball League and I like taking all young pitchers.
I have to agree. I root for Notre Dame and I'm glad we had him but I just don't see him doing much in the NFL
give me an example of the kinds of WRs that are on your waiver wire, and Ill tell you. In a 40 man non-idp, i would bet he's worth holding. Watch his baseball career to see how he's doing. He wasn't dominant as a pitcher, so I could see him following the Drew Henson route and getting paid millions to suck at two sports.
i don't know how good of a pro WR he would/ or will be, but it looks like he isn't going to sniff the majors as a pitcher. i'm not even looking at the high ERA, or bad won/loss record. those both are subjective. how about only 33 k's in 85 innings. dude has no stuff. thats a major red flag right there. a nearly 23 yr old college pitcher should be able to dominate rookie league hitters a heck of a lot better than that. looks like it shouldn't take him, or the cubs too long to figure this one out.
I was never quite sure what the big deal was about him as a pitcher, except that he's a big athletic kid, and maybe they thought once he concentrated on baseball, he would blossom? He certainly did not have the background to justify the kind of hype he got.

IIRC, if the Cubs cut him then they still owe him the money but if he quits then he forfeits the money. He seems intent on giving baseball his best shot and it can take a few years for pitchers to develop so I don't see him quitting and going back to football anytime soon. Even if he does come back to football it's going to take another couple years for him to make much of an impact - by then you'll have been holding onto a guy for 4-5 years. I think your roster would be better served by picking up nearly any rookie still out there. Only in extremely deep leagues (30+ offensive players) does it even make sense to roster him.

I've always liked Maurice Stovall (more than Shark), but I am really surprised by the reports out of Tampa. Stovall will always be limited by his lack of speed (and seemingly average athleticism). What Stovall can do is run crisp routes and he uses his great size and strength to overpower defenders. The better route runner he becomes, the more he'll have an impact for the Bucs.JS was fantastic in college, but he always seemed to be just going through the motions.

His walk to strikeout ratio doesn't look good, and his ERA is a bit high, but everyone needs to slow down a little on this. The guy is a half a season into his pro baseball career. Sure, he should be doing a lot better than this in single A, but give him some time. Pitchers usually take years to develop in the minors before making the leap to the next level. He may or may not make it as a baseball player, but it's going to be at least 3 or 4 years before either side, him or the Cubs, would make any decision like that.
That said, if you're still interested in stashing him on your roster, check back to his baseball stats next year or the year after, and if it still looks bad, then you can add him. But I seriously doubt he would consider football without testing baseball for at least 3 years or longer.

Shouldn't this be in a different forum? Kind of a pointless topic.

I agree, for those that play dynasty/along with Samar's struggles with baseball, this is far from a useless topic. FBGers are always searching for a needle in a haystack. If you are surface shopping, don't tap in.Except for not - don't open or read it if you have a problemedit to add: this topic has brought great posts.

Please explain. You like Stovall, but are surprised about positive reports? I have heard his speed is a question, but I have heard good things about his athletism (will try to find a link).I've always liked Maurice Stovall (more than Shark), but I am really surprised by the reports out of Tampa.

I'm surprised by him performing so well so soon. I thought he would take some time to develop, and it seems that he might start opposite Joey Galloway this year.I would think he has potential in the NFL if he gave it a shot. Football isn't really the type of sport that it takes a very long time to dust off the rust. (Except for QBs I'd think)
I also agree though that you can and should wait for about 3 years before burning your final roster spot on him. Use that last spot on a guy like Clark Harris or John Broussard, 7th round picks who don't have too much of a chance at making an impact, yet play positions of desperate need for the teams that drafted them.
