WHarris1 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Aaron Cunningham MLB.COM COMMENT: LF w/ excellent overall strength. Similar to Darren Bragg. Can handle wooden bat. Fervent in hitting approach. Very good speed on the bases and could be a good base-stealer in the future. Energetic young player.

WHarris1 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) I know you can't really tell much but on his mlb.com video he looks like a smooth defender. He starts his stance wide open then squares when the pitch is coming. Just random s*** I get from this video. Nice wheels as well Edited June 7, 2005 by WHarris1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randar68 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) Austin Jackson has not been picked yet. I guess teams were scared off by his desire to play point guard at GT next season. Looks like that decision is going to cost him a lot of money. That and the fact that he played like an uninterested dog all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Daniel Cortez MLB.COM COMMENT: Tall, wiry, lean frame. Similar to Bronson Arroyo. Quick fairly loose arm. Turns over two-seam FB for sink action down & in. Young fresh arm. Good athlete Edited June 7, 2005 by WHarris1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I noticed that his high school numbers were extremely mediocre this season for someone who was supposed to be such a stud. Looks like Paul Hewitt will actually get Austin Jackson on campus next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 11 SB's, 10 2B's and 4 3B's He's only a freshman. Very young, born in 1986. Pretty good pick at this point IMO. I agree with the guy who said there was disappointment in selecting Brooks, but that has been said about Whisler and Harrell and several others of late by the Sox who have turned out well. I'll wait until I know more, but again, that pick did NOT impress me with some of the other talent still on the board. He could have been had later.

Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Ya, could even be a draft and follow but I doubt the Sox will go that way with Cunnigham. Trying to find something out on their 6th round selection right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Paul Hewitt will actually get Austin Jackson on campus next year Yep. I'm somewhat surprised. Kid could have been a first rounder, but for some reason wants to be a PG. There are 12-15 roster spots per NBA team. A first rounder has 4-5 years to make it in baseball plus the million in signing bonuses and college tuition paid in the future...

He missed about a month of the season but is back in the rotation with Winston Salem. 3.90 ERA in 30 innings of work. He's given up 26 hits while striking out 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I know about baseball: If you heart and mind aren't 100% into it, your physical tools mean nothing. Funny thing is that his basketball ranking dropped a lot as well. He went from being a fringe top 50 player to being ranked in the bottom part of the top 100. Hewitt has said he's the fastest player he's ever recruited though. He'll have a ton of playing time at pg next year at GT if he actually goes to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
