You are right proark Luhnow has not proven to be anything yet. We still need to see how things pan out over time. I have to admit I wasn't super thrilled about Appel at the time of the draft because of his agent and being an over-hyped college player. I guess I had forgotten all of that after I saw him pitch this spring. He looked like he had pretty good stuff with really good command. My biggest worry with Luhnow is his approach to finding players who strike out at a massive clip because they have some power... The jury is definitely still out.
