BearSox Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Is Wil Myers still on the board? I know we already drafted a catcher, but Myers would be very tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) I love the Thompson pick...huge potential. Great family for sports. I'll be surprised if he's not the best of our 3 picks so far. Edited June 10, 2009 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Trace Thompson, local kid out of Rancho Santa Margarita. He's going to UCLA. I'll try to interview him. Michael Thompsons kid. He's supposed to have really good tools. MLB.com calls him the most improved player. Multi sport guy in High school, just focused on baseball his senior season. Can't complain here, not at all. Athletism and all. Power potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 He sounds like he has a hell of a lot of potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 sounds like a high upside guy Thompson is the son of Mychal Thompson, the former NBA star who played on several Los Angeles Lakers NBA championship clubs in the 1980s, and the bloodlines show. A 6-foot-4, 200-pound outfielder, Thompson has terrific bat speed, and his future power potential is exciting. He has a great frame that's both athletic and projectable, and his arm strength is impressive. The primary drawbacks are his instincts and feel for the game. He has the look of a player who is relatively new to baseball and is still learning the basics. He often hesitates in the outfield and won't attempt to throw out runners trying to advance, or will defer to other fielders on balls hit in the gaps. Thompson generates terrific bat speed, but his swing is long on the back end and his timing is affected by his habit of pulling out his front side too quickly. Thompson's selection in this draft would be made on potential alone. If he goes to UCLA, develops his skills and gains experience, he would likely be a much higher pick in 2012.

Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Michael Thompson is on the radio a lot around here and they'd have baseball people ocassionally talk about his kid and everyone gushed about him. I think this is a great pick. Won't be an easy sign, depends on how badly he wants to play in the pro's. His family has money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Never heard of this kid, but I like it anyway. HS CF that's 6'4'' 200 lbs. Looks like he has a chance to fill out and be a power hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Jason Bere looks like he has been struck repeatedly with the age stick. Also Trayce Thompson and his father have the oddly placed "y" in common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
