MU Pitchers hope for pro career

Daniel Pauling of the Missourian talks to Brad Buehler and Kyle Gibson, who have a peculiar interest in the 2008 MLB World Series:

"The Tampa Bay Rays selected Buehler in the 43rd round of the 2007 draft, and the Philadelphia Phillies chose Gibson in the 36th round of the 2006 draft."

Also, some interesting quotes from Tony Vitello about those two MU pitchers, including this: "It's cutthroat (in the minor leagues). We're going to invest innings and time to develop these two. Scouts always find players, so they'll discard you (if a player doesn't perform well)."

Sounds like a well-rehearsed recruiting line - and a true statement.
