Josh Vitters is, um, like, awesome

[smg]

Yeah, they're interviewing him now, and he's like great.  He's very excited, because, um, it's awesome to be a highly rated prospect, and he hears from his brother that the minor leagues are awesome, like even the bus rides are awesome, his contract is awesome, the Cubs are awesome.

And he wants to be good at all assets of his game.

He would like to thank Tim Wilkens, um, his advisor, um, his friends, like, all of them, all of whom, are like awesome.

[RoyHobbs]

No wonder,um, it took so long,um, to sign him. He's,um, fuckin' like so awesome.

You'd be stoned too, if you just spent 3 hours in the green room with Tom Dreesen.

Why is Tom Dreesen funny again? Wait, why is he funny for the first time? What did he do to get famous? He's the worst. Ever.

I think he made Frank Sinatra laugh once.

And instead of working on every "asset" of his play(pretty sure he meant aspect), work on buying a dictionary first.


And I thought it was impressive he thought he'd be a 300-320 hitter with power. That's pretty cocky for a 17 year old right out of high school. Let's see the last guy I can think of that was that good was named Griffey. Pretty high hopes kid.  

[The Paul Popovich Experience]

This kid fits right in with the Cubs. He's borderline retarded, a stoner, and a teenage millionaire. He'll be banging hot-ass blondes for years after he washes out of the Cubs system. That's $10MM well-spent!

My guess is that he meant "facet".  Much easier to get that wrong.

300-320 average for power. Good in all assets of the game. 500+ ft homeruns when he was 10. Plus personality and intelligence. Nice job Jim Hendry and Tim Wilkens.

Could have said the same things about Harvey and/or Dopirak. Or Korey. Or Roosevelt Brown. Or...

Great.  Desipio already hates a 17-year-old kid before he's played one minor league game for the Cubs.  Nice work, fellas.

[Three times a JD]

Are we gonna call this kid J-Vitt, JV, or Vitty?

Yeah, I really wasn't a big fan of this one...was gonna write something snotty such as: Oh, I too was surprised that a 17 year old kid who had probably not had a lot of experience sitting in on a nearly nationwide broadcast sounded a little out of it.

I guess I just did.

[Chuckosan]

Are we gonna call this kid J-Vitt, JV, or Vitty?

I was going to save time and not even learn his name so that when he becomes the next Tyler Colvin or Mark Pawlek or Ryan Harvey or Bobbie Brownlie I won't have to curse Jim Hendry again.
