Just watching some of these Astros post game stuff on TV and they show a pic of Micheal Bourn when he was a player at UH. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkk i miss those teams. I’m full of 'member berries right now. Fook San Jose St. Irrelevant shites.
No, but hitting can. Bourn was a great argument for player development. When he arrived as a freshman, speed was about all he had. By the time he graduated, he was a .300 hitter with some pop, could track down any ball in CF, and an above-average arm to gun out the runners that dared tag up under his watch.
I remain convinced (though no one ever has told me this) that Bourn’s development plan was modeled on Goeffrey Tomlinson’s, who made HUGE leaps at UH.
