claydude14 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Woah, how'd I become the thread starter? Guess this is my first game thread! I can't get into Canada because I got a DWI 3 years ago and there's a 5 year grace period apparently. Anyhow, big game tonight. Let's snap these losing streak and start off May the right way- with a White Sox Winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 2, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) Can someone give us a brief scouting report on Russell from baseball america... http://www.baseballamerica.com/online/pros...res/265457.html 9. Adam Russell, rhp Born: April 14, 1983. • B-T: R-R. • Ht.: 6-8. • Wt.: 250. Drafted: Ohio, 2004 (6th round). • Signed by: Nathan Durst/Larry Grefer. $PLAYER_NAME$Background: Russell had a breakout season in 2006 and opened eyes in camp last spring, when his 95 mph fastball and sharp curveball made him a favorite of scouts in Arizona. But he seemed to have a letdown when he wound up back in Double-A, opening 2007 in the rotation and ending it in the bullpen. Strengths: Russell throws a 91-94 mph fastball from a variety of arm slots, emulating Jose Contreras after a suggestion in mid-2006 from Winston-Salem pitching coach J.R. Perdew. Russell's curveball is a plus pitch at times. He's as subtle as a lumberjack, using his build to gain some intimidation and durability. Weaknesses: Russell's secondary pitches lag behind his fastball. Hitters don't chase his curveball out of the strike zone and his changeup isn't effective. He can get out of whack mechanically in a hurry and has a hard time getting himself back on track. The Sox would like him to work faster as he can think too much on the mound. The Future: While Russell has pitched primarily as a starter in the minors, relieving appears his most likely path to the big leagues. He pitched well in that role in the Arizona Fall League and will compete for a big league job in spring training. He also could benefit from spending at least half a year in Triple-A.

He's actually decent at 3B as well. But anything else he's played, including SS and anything in the OF, he's pretty brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
