Outside of that it sounds like we're in the same boat. It's hard to look at what he has done and be encouraged. That said, it's not unheard of for guys to struggle in their 1st professional season, figure it out in year two, and go on to have solid, good, or great careers. Some pitchers figure it out at 22, some at 26, some at 30 and some never do. The good news is that Crow, like Hochevar and even Kyle Davies has the stuff and ability to succeed. All of that was me channeling positivity! rbt,

Crow is going to be 24 this fall, is not getting any younger, can't handle AA ball and isn't progressing. I just keep thinking back to June 2009 when the Royals were up in the first round and I was chanting to myself "please, not Crow, please, not Crow" because there was just a little bit too much Luke Hochevar in the situation. Man, sometimes I hate it when I'm right. Hopefully he comes around, but I'm not encouraged. It was easy to stick by Moustakas and Hosmer, they were young kids just out of high school.
