Baseball: Lucas Giolito vs. Michael Wacha
From the Washington Post comes an intriguing story about two pitchers available in the 2012, draft: former Harvard-Westlake pitcher Lucas Giolito and now the star of the St. Louis Cardinals staff, Michael Wacha.
The Washington Nationals could have taken Wacha with the No. 16 pick but chose Giolito, who most knew would need Tommy John surgery.
Giolito is on the comeback trail; Wacha is in the World Series. The Nationals have no regrets, still believing in Giolito’s promise.
