BearSox Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Dan has agreed to an interview with us, and I'll be sending him a list of questions this week. So, post all those questions you have for him in here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 What has the White Sox Organization told you about your timetable? Were you expected to move up from Kannapolis all the way to Birmingham like you have? What has been the biggest difference between A ball hitters and AA hitters? What has been the thing you needed to work on most when moving up leagues? Judging by your numbers in College, it looked like you had mixed results. How has the White Sox Organization helped you in becoming a more consistent pitcher? No one really knows what your breaking pitch is and there have been reports saying it's a curve and others saying its a slider. So, what is your breaking pitch? We've had a report saying you topped out at 98 in Birmingham. Does that sound right to you? If so, has your velocity increased in the past 1+ since college? Is there a pitcher in the MLB that you compare yourself to? Is there a certain pitcher in the MLB that you love to watch? Another favorite prospect around here is Tyler Flowers. There have been reports that he is raw behind the plate. Assuming he caught a couple of your games so far, how did he handle catching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prochisox Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 In 2008 you were drafted with fellow college teammate Dexter Carter. How have the two of you adjusted to from the jump of college to rookie ball? Has the familiarity of being drafted with a college teammate helped with your progress?

TheHolyBovine Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 How does it feel knowing that you're probably going to get traded soon for some spare like Jon Garland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Are you related to the guy theat discovered the bay which opened the trade route to the great lakes and thus began the process by which the city of Chicago became the metropolis it currently is?

flavum Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Is it Dan or Daniel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 How do you honestly feel about the middle aged ladies who stalk you and all the players, all the wives and girlfriends, all the families and take loads and loads of pictures during the game and wherever you guys go to party? Seriously ask him all that, I'm dying to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Can you hit, or would you look clueless if you had to face MLB pitching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatnom Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is there any insight you can give us on why your college teammate Dexter Carter has not been promoted even though he has been dominating his league? How soon do you think you can reach the majors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Last call for questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmywins1 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 If you could compare yourself to any major league pitcher, who would it be? Do you think that you have the pitches to stay in a big league rotation, or is it more realistic to think of you as a bullpen asset down the line? In the heat of the game, do you look to get a big strikeout, or a lazy ball hit to a fielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ask some goofy non-baseball questions like what's your favorite movie, song/type of music, food, vacation spot, etc. It's kinda neat to know stuff like that, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Here are a bunch to mull over: Do you pay any attention to trade rumors around baseball, knowing that if the Sox make a big deal there's a good chance you'll be one of those names requested? Do you follow the Sox at all? What was your favorite team growing up? If you could make yourself as a character in a video game, and you could give yourself any one extra pitch that you feel would enhance your current game, what pitch would you choose, and why? Who is the toughest hitter you have faced? Who are some of the best arms you've seen in the Sox system? Other than your teammate Dexter Carter, are there any other players you have met in the Sox system who you have found to be especially influential or helpful, either with your game or the adjustment process? Have you ever been to SoxTalk or FutureSox? Do you even care? Which would you rather have: five dollars or a WNBA Championship? Do you have any interesting bus ride stories? What is it like when you're riding the bus and someone rips a nasty fart and/or dumps a huge pile in the on-board chemical toilet? And does it sicken you to walk in there with piss all over the floor, and then have to fight to aim for the toilet while the bus is moving but still maintain enough balance so as not to touch the walls which your fellow prospects have urinated on? Have you begun to hate the Cubs yet? Did you ever expect to rocket through the system this fast? At this time last year, at what level would you have predicted yourself? You realize we're counting on you, right? We don't develop many good starting pitchers around here. ....err, that's it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 I already sent the questions in before I saw your post KHP... but a few of yours are asked, and a couple others I wouldn't have sent cause they might not be the most professional, especially about the one about when someone takes a dump on the bus Oh, by the way, on facebook, he already stated that he enjoys watching the cubs lose.
