dasox24 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) Sounds like a "Stretch" It might sound like a "stretch" to you, but to the Sox it's not, and I have complete faith in our scouting department. They do a great job. IIRC, Jeremy Reed was a "stretch" in round 2 when we drafted him, and he turned out to be very worthy of that selection.

fathom Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Sounds like an awful pick. Also, no shock that Cubs already signed their first-round pick. They don't mess around with money now. If there's a good pitcher to be signed, they'll pay top money for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Heads already has Brooks' e-mail address and is working on his phone number. Seriously, we're not stalkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stretch when you draft him multiple rounds earlier than you still could have had him. Bleich still on the board and they go with Brooks... crappy use of their limited picks, IMO.

dasox24 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Damn, the Cubs got another badass pitcher in Mark Holliman. Trust me, he's gonna be a "name" in a couple years. Many teams will regret not taking this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 http://www.ecupirates.com/index.php?url_ch...=4693&well_id=2 Brooks is a Sophomore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 He's a draft eligible sophmore from what I can tell. Was named National Pitcher of the Week at one point this past season. This kind of smells of Ray Liotta. A guy off everyones radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleich and Matt Green still on the board and they go with Brooks... crappy use of their limited picks, IMO. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seeing as he's an EC Univ. guy the Sox must know a lot about him, they are in NC all the time. Hopefully they know something good about this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Another C-USA pitcher too (along with Broadway). Seems like they have seen Broadway a good amount and are obviously quite familiar with Brooks from the 1st time around. If I think back (i may be totally off base) I was thinking Brooks threw a splitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Those numbers aren't very impressive, Jason... Whatever, they've done a good enough job to earn my trust, I don't like the pick, but we'll see... Anyways, unless I'm not seeing something, that Kenny Maiques is still on the board, and he rates as one of the best JuCo pitchers in America. I'd like to see the Sox grab him, strictly from a numbers standpoint. 133 K's in 82 IP, and just 16 BB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets give him a chance at the very least. I wish I could find my stuff from the 03 draft but I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
