I live about 75 miles from Knoxville and have seen TV reports plus sports talk radio discussing Doyle's temperament on the mound. Here are some comments on Doyle :

Liam Doyle, a pitcher for the Tennessee Volunteers, is known to have a fiery and intense temperament on the field. His competitive nature is evident in several incidents and comments about his behavior:
He was suspended for two games following an altercation at home plate during a game against Auburn where he exchanged words with an opposing player after tagging him out.
Doyle confirmed he used expletives towards a Wake Forest hitter during a game, a moment that went viral and prompted a conversation with his grandmother about his language.
His coach, Tony Vitello, has described Doyle's on-field demeanor as being "like a guy in a bar fight," showcasing a level of intensity and assertiveness.
Some observers, like Rob Friedman, have even described his pitching persona as having a "psychopath" quality, highlighting his intense focus and aggression.
While his passion is evident, Doyle's behavior can be seen as either a fiery competitive spirit or an issue with controlling his temper, depending on individual perspective.

So as the comments suggest .. Would Cardinals view Doyle as fiery spirit OR a kid with temper /anger management issues ?

Probably not to fiery for Tony L and Walt but Mo and Oli............ Imagine Chris Carpenter on todays team, Would Oli send the batboy to take Carpenter out of the game?

How would Oli have approached the mound to take Gibson out of a game?

Probably walking backwards ?

As we sit here a day away from the draft, which prospect would you be most DISAPPOINTED if the Cardinals took at #5?

I know we've had lots of polls on who everyone wants most, but who scares you the most and/or screams BUST to you?

I'm going to say Seth Hernandez. Not that you guys won't most likely talk me into being happy about the pick, but just because high school arms scare me and it takes forever to even see the rewards from the pick if it works out. How about you guys?
