Edgy MD Site Manager Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I bet you didn't know, or more likely, briefly noted it and forgot it, but the Mets were the first big league team to sign a player out of Belgium.Unfortunately, after acquitting himself respectably in the DSL for parts of two summers, the team gave up on him a few weeks into rookie ball.I noticed him because he's got a profile in Out of the Park Baseball --- a bad, bad profile.I don't know what's worse, that the computer could imagine a ballplayer with a such a terrible future ahead of him (players are rated from 1 to 20 on their skills), or that once generating that profile, it could link it to an actual person.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 You'd think that his 2010 and 2011 seasons alone would give hope for a better profile than thathttp://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=dewolf001thoanyway, why is your name in the header?
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 I guess I'm his GM. Unlike Sandy, I kept him around for 2013. Near the end of the season, I realized his poorly rated ass never got used by Kingsport and their bloated roster. I briefly promoted him up to Savannah to get his five plate appearances in. Now he has a southern fried RBI to tell his kids about back in Antwerp.
