Apparently they're doing it on a case by case basis, taking into account age, previous year's innings, recent history of arm trouble, etc. Despite this attention, pitchers still get hurt at a maddening rate. Witness Huff, Sipp, Martin, Miller, etc. this year.

And yes, Morris' promotion to Lake County has gone very well so far (2 starts). But keep in mind they already have 2 starters in their rotation that are his age or younger and have already logged 20 or so starts - the sample size is pretty lopsided still. Safe to say he is one of many talented teen arms on the Tribe farm right now.

Looking at Harrison's stats from The Baseball Cube, yes, he's not doing as well as Goleski at the same age/level.  Don't forget as well that many of those decent numbers, like the .293/.397/.520 line at High-A Bakersfield and the .282/.341/.491 line at AA Frisco (SSS understood) he put up in 2006 at age 24 were respectively in the California and Texas League, two notorious hitter's league, so I don't think he's even as close to Goleski as a hitter as the numbers would imply at first glance, and Goleski isn't that much of a prospect to begin with, so really, I think the Indians made a very wise choice to let him return to Florida and get redrafted.

Does anyone know how much Harrison signed for with Texas?  I take it it wasn't for 1st-Rd. money this time?  

As for Horne, he's having a decent bounceback for the Yankees after TJ surgery (I think,) but is not really young for the league he's in, so I think he's a decent prospect, but not at the level of a Miller, Lofgren, or even a Laffey (only because of Laffey's advanced progression and AAA success at age 22, compared to Horne's AA success at age 24, not because Laffey's stuff is better than Horne's - most would probably say Horne's stuff is better than Laffey's.)

So, overall, I think the Indians not only do a good job of signing talent that might go unnoticed or falls farther than they probably should, based on their talent, but I think the Indians also do a good job of letting those draftees who think they should get higher-round money go unsigned - so far, it hasn't really hurt them, outside of maybe Lincecum, and being that he was a 42nd-Rd. pick, it probably would have been very difficult to sign him anyway, especially since there were questions about his mechanics and whether he could stay consistently healthy with those mechanics.  I'm not sure the Indians can be faulted too much for that, as everyone bypassed Lincecum many times in that draft before the Indians drafted him.

Just my 2 cents.  :-)
