Cerbaho-WG Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Dwayne Pollok was a draftee of the Sox in the 2003 draft out of Texas A&M . He posted some nice stats at Winston-Salem and does have a future in the bigs if he continues his current progression. He can throw a mid 90s fastball, 95 MPH tops if I remember correctly, and a power slider. Good control. Wasserman was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Samford Univeristy after he called to schedule a tryout. Doesn't throw overly hard, I'm unsure of what he throws.

Chisoxfn Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Neither are major prospects at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 and they are both major prospect???? I'd consider Pollok a fringe prospect, Wasserman not much of a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasserman was invited to the tryout camp held at the Hoover Met, where the Barons play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Here's something on Wasserman from part of an article I wrote: The 23-year-old Wasserman is an interesting story to how he became apart of the White Sox organization. During his senior year at Samford University (Ala.), the right-hander had a very unimpressive year. He finished the year posting a 5-8 record with a 6.25 ERA and 4 saves in 24 appearances (11 starts). Not exactly the stuff that makes scouts drool, nonetheless, even further consider keeping an eye on a player. However, when the Chicago White Sox held a tryout at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama, on June 17, 2003, Wasserman was there. Amongst a group of over one hundred players, Wasserman took the mound. And, when he did, there was no looking back. He impressed the White Sox enough for them to offer him a spot on the Bristol White Sox, an advanced rookie league team. Wasserman signed, and pitched the rest of the year for Bristol. He was given a chance to be the closer for low single-A Kannapolis at the start of this year, and has impressed more than ever could have been imagined. Currently, he holds a 1-3 record with a 1.88 ERA and his South Atlantic league-leading 26 saves. Wasserman had very good control of three pitches; a fastball, curveball, and changeup. His fastball consistently hits 90-91 MPH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
