ThunderBolt Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Tommy Lasorda might be high, right now. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 In one way I'm sure Trayce has had a lifelong preparation for being a professional athlete and all the issues attached w/ that. At the same time, he hangs out with Charles Barkley apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 From BA. TRAYCE THOMPSON, OF, SANTA MARGARITA HS 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 Interesting, Stock is a darn talented guy but most had him pegged as a pitcher. Going to use him as the catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCLA usually keeps there guys for the most part, that said, he wasn't slated to go necessarily this early, partly because of his committ and the fact that he still has a lot to learn, but his tools grade out well. My guess is the Sox have talked to him and know he wants to play. They are usually very good at feeling out these kind of guys. I also think this makes it more likely we see them grab a tougher sign eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
