WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 QUOTE(R.J. @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:28 PM) How about Middlebrooks or Carpenter this round I would love to have Carpenter, forgot he was still available. He is a DE soph, so he'll be a tough sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:10 PM) Danny, If you see this, what's the site again with the Mizzou baseball recruit info? simmonsfield.com QUOTE(R.J. @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:28 PM) How about Middlebrooks or Carpenter this round After seeing Carpenter in person he definitely is a projectable arm. If the Sox can teach him some control, wow. He has major movement on his pitches. Also, Dunigan of Oklahoma went to Seattle and that guy is a f'n beast. In a game at Mizzou I saw him play he got gunned out on a close play at first and after being called out yelled to the ump, "Just because I'm big doesn't mean I'm not fast!" He's not kidding either. Unreal, athlete with insane power. He jacked the hell out of a ball in one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:30 PM) Anybody got a scouting report on Middlebrooks? Why is he slipping so far? 36. Will Middlebrooks, 3b/rhp School: Liberty-Elyau HS, Texarkana, Texas. Class: Sr. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 215. Birthdate: 9/9/88. Scouting Report: Kevin Ahrens isn't the only blue-chip third-base recruit Texas A&M could lose to the draft. Where Ahrens gets compared with Chipper Jones, the more athletic Middlebrooks draws Cal Ripken Jr. and Scott Rolen comparisons. Selected to play in a Texas high school football all-star game, Middlebrooks drew college interest as a quarterback and punter. He's also a 6-foot-4, 215-pound righthander with a low-90s fastball and an occasional plus curveball. But his future is at the hot corner. He's not quite as polished a hitter as Ahrens, but he's not far off and his size gives him leverage that will produce power. He's an athletic third baseman with good range and a strong arm, and he runs well for his size. Middlebrooks is a consensus supplemental first-rounder, but he could sneak into the first round with the right club.

I'm stunned that he hasn't gone yet, but would be elated if the Sox grabbed him this round. I'd be absolutely thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
