WHarris1 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 He threw out the first pitch tonight at the game - bizarre throw... They announced that he would be starting at Winston Salem and he had agreed to terms. Broadway, the 15th overall pick in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, signed on the dotted line Monday, receiving a $1.57 million signing bonus. Broadway made it clear during a conference call after his somewhat surprising selection that he would quickly be in the fold with the White Sox, and proved to be a man of his word.

CWSGuy406 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I heard he was gonna talk during the broadcast. Did he have anything of interest to say? DJ usually sucks conducting interviews, so was it just the same old, same old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it means is that the guy doesn't want 3+ mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 The Warthogs are going to have a very nice rotation real soon. Broadway, Gonzalez, Lumsden (when he gets back from injury) and Wes Whisler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, my friend is going to UNC in August and I told him he's going to get to see a ton of good pitching prospects when he goes to Winston Salem. That's going to be a fun team to watch no matter who's out on the mound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honel's coming back in AA (although he still has a LONG way to go) and so is Corwin Malone, Sean Tracey's had a good year, B-Mac in AAA, Ray Liotta has dominated in Kanny, it's looking good.

No doubt and hopefully Tyler and Wes can both get and stay healthy and show what they can do. Pitching depth has definitely become the strength of our system along with the outfield depth.

The Sox are also gonna be piggybacking Broadway so I'd say there is a decent shot they'll do something early on where Broadway starts and Lumsden comes in and finishes stuff out in relief. They'll have to ease Tyler back from his injury, but he'll be back around the ASB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I can't remember for sure but I think he said he was gonna be leaving Arizona pretty quick and heading up to join the team in the next week or so, but I could be wrong.

Due to his workload from college and the solid staff that the Hogs already have, I would bet that Broadway would work primarily out of the bullpen for a bit.

thomsonmi Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 There's a number of different threads discussing this issue. In one of them there's a White Sox personnel guy saying that Broadway will be limited to around 5 innings per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
