hi8is Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) On Abbott: With Abbott still in school, his parents had to get him out of class and take him to the athletic director's office so he could hear his name announced. Abbott is a power-packed project, who flew in from Washington to work out for the White Sox and impressed none other than Jim Thome with some of his blasts. "Jim told me 'Who is this kid?' I even had to pull out the roster to look and realized it was Sam Abbott," Hostetler said. "It's going to be a long process for Sam. "He's going to be a two-year Rookie ball guy. He's new to baseball, he wasn't on the circuit. ... This is one of those high risk, high rewards, where if this hits, it's a story good enough for a movie." Abbott was deemed by Hostetler as one of the most unique stories ever drafted by the White Sox. http://mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20170613&...ws&c_id=cws Edited June 14, 2017 by hi8is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
