Cerbaho-WG Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Lance Broadway, the newest member of the White Sox after being selected 15th overall in MLB’s First Year Player Draft, still can’t believe what happened just several days ago... “It’s still sinking in, but for the most part, no I really don’t think it has hit me yet,” said Broadway as he graciously agreed to an over the phone interview with FutureSox.com.

Kalapse Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Great Interview. "I try to own the inside part of the plate." That's a good sign if he knows that he must pitch inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Hmmm.. looks a little leggy there. For those that have seen him standing up straight.. is he as tall as Brandon..? And Cerb.. how fast is he throwing right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 He's 6'4 195 per the TCU website. And I believe he's throwing in the low 90s with his fastball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says useless undergrad degree like German and International Studies. you do a great job at writing stories. Most people who do interviews are satisified with putting out a Q&A format story. To actually incorporate the questions and turn it into an article is a step above. Take a pat on the back, because that is solid work.

Take a pat on the back, because that is solid work. Thank you, I much appreciate it and enjoy writing tremendously. Although it saddens me somewhat when I read Dostoevsky, as I am now, or Nabokov or Vonnegut and I think, "Damn, I'll probably never write as well as this." But I've always been told I write well, so I take much pride in that. Maybe one day I'll turn my rants into some weirdo piece of fiction, who knows.

Reddy Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 if I could pick one person for that ball to go to, it would be me. I know I’m going to make an out. I work hard about trying to stay quick, and I know people think of pitchers not as athletes, but I’ll race anybody.” i love that attitude. i think he's got the mindset. And have to reiterate, great job Cerb, really enjoyed the interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, here's a fairly easy question: What is the subtitle to Slaughterhouse Five? Also, name two of Dostoyevsky's novels. Yes, I'm very bored.

Also, I've been into Nabokov lately more than Dostoevsky, but once Crime and Punishment is finished, I'm turning to The Brothers Karamazov. Then back to Nabokov.

aboz56 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Just talked to one of the U of L players I know about Broadway and here is what he said about him. Good curve, good slider, decent change, all pitches look the same coming out of his hand. Said he is the best pitcher he has faced in college so far.

We had dinner with a scout last night and he had great things to say about him as well. One thing specifically he did say was that his change-up was "very sneaky" out of his glove.

One thing specifically he did say was that his change-up was "very sneaky" out of his glove. I remember my Dad throwing me a very sneaky changeup out of his glove. It was like a hidden ball trick. He went into this big windup and a split second after nothing came out of his hand, he would flick the ball out of his glove. It certainly gave me pause, but I doubt it would work at the major league level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Cerb, fantastic article. I was in L.A. during the draft and all I was able to find out was that the Sox selected Broadway, I appreciate all the work all of you guys did on the draft, it's really got me caught up pretty quick on everything.
