insane that Brian Hunter just pimped his son out on twitter

Lucas Hunter is a 2012 MIF with a 5-11 160 lb. frame from Portland, OR who attends Central Catholic. Hunter is a slender and lean athletic build. Moves well on the infield, uses proper fielding technique, fields out front, hands and feet work, moves with balance and body control. Straight away stance at the plate with a quiet and simple approach to hitting, doesn't try to do too much. Shows bat speed and balance, good pitch recognition. He is a raw athlete with good tools to continue to develop, and will be an interesting guy to keep an eye on in the coming months. Showed well in game play. Good student.

he was going to Portland:

Hunter is a 6-foot middle infielder who just completed his senior season for the Rams. A three-year letter winner, Hunter helped lead the Rams to a second-place finish in the state of Oregon in 2011. As a junior, Hunter was voted the team’s player of the game in the state title game and he hit .419 at the plate. Lucas is the son of Brian Hunter, a center fielder who spent 12 years in Major League Baseball playing for the Houston Astros, Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners.
