re: Aggie fans tell me about Rob Childress

Man, there is a lot of garbage on this thread. Childress failed in recruiting, but he absolutely is a top pitching coach. More of an old school guy. He does not abuse pitchers. Have we had some guys get TJ surgery? Yes, everyone does, but none of them were due to overuse at A&M. He took a walk on (Ross Stripling literally just showed up at his office, after already being enrolled and on campus) and turned him into a big leaguer. He was great at developing guys like Michael Wacha who had a certain physical profile, but he also got the most out of guys who weren't 6-4 and throwing gas.

I kind of figured that some big league club would hire him to be a roving instructor in their minor league system, but maybe he just prefers college baseball.
