So much for credibility.

From what I've seen in the past, Piliere is good about justifying and supporting his thoughts/rankings on MiLBers. I think I'd chalk this one up to shitty proofreading/editing...

Not really relevant to his evaluation skills, but I think he was also the first to connect the Astros to Kvasnicka before the draft.

Richard Justice, whose job is to cover the Houston Astros, reported like 2 months ago that Jordan Lyles was a LHP.  I mean, I don't care if my roommate, coworker, or drinking buddy thinks Lyles is a LHP.  I wouldn't even correct them.  But Richard Justice is in charge of covering Houston sports and he can't even get the Astros top prospect's pitching arm correct.  And he did it in 2 different articles or blogs or whatever that crap is he puts out. 

Keith Law also had his top 10 prospects for each organization and said JD Martinez was a RHP.  I give him a pass because he's trying to cover the entire league. 


In summary, I understand why sports journalism pays shit.

Reading Richard Justice and respect level for Richard Justice are inversely related

No, I think it was his brother, Millard.  Frank died from the piles after consuming a splendid plate of ox liver and an entire pole cat.
