Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Grandal? Where did the hell did this come from? I think he's a stud. I just never thought he'd be on the Sox radar. Would drafting him speak volumes negatively towards the long-term future of Flowers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just never thought he'd be on the Sox radar. Would drafting him speak volumes negatively towards the long-term future of Flowers? They could always move Flowers to 1B/DH, but I don't know/think if his bat would translate, but then again.. this is our org. so it isn't THAT much in question, but right now Flowers has some issues he (and the org.) need to fix. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 03:39 PM) IMO, yes. Phegley as well. Phegley's future is already in question with or without the Grandal pick.

I just never thought he'd be on the Sox radar. Would drafting him speak volumes negatively towards the long-term future of Flowers? I think the Sox could play it off as simply taking the best player available. Assuming Flowers gets back on track in the next two weeks, he'll have roughly 2 1/2 years to cement his name as the franchise catcher before he has to worry about Grandal.

ZoomSlowik Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm going to have to concur with Fathom on Barret Loux. The results were good, but I would rather not have the Sox draft him at 13. His fastball was often 88 or lower and fairly straight, and his curveball was all over the place. He did have a nice change and threw a few good two-seam fastballs, but I have a hard time seeing him miss bats with the same kind of regularity in the pros. I suppose it's possible the gun was a bit slow, but FIU did get some solid swings on the fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Ball Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Brandon Workman going for Texas vs. Rider. Can watch it here http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.htm...mp;media=181863 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Ball Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Workman only working 88-90 in the 2nd. Command was a little off too as he was missing up. Did get a strikeout on a good slow curve though and froze another batter with a harder curve. Had a couple of nice cutters in there as well.

That's quite a ways off from the scouting reports isn't it? Not really, a lot of reports have said he's 89-91. I'm not impressed with him at all from what I've seen. Wojo at least has two plus pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the cutter working pretty well at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Updated draft buzz: http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/06/05/draft-b...?sms_ss=twitter I think it comes down to Workman or Brentz. Maybe McGuire if he falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 One wonders if the Sox would take Choice over Brentz if both were available. While I think Choice ends up with San Diego, I like him much more than Bryce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Brentz would be a very good pick, but it just seems so likely that the Sox will take a college starting pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep trying to convince myself the sox might take the best player available, if that is a position player, but I keep going back to college pitcher they would take. Still not a doubt in my mind we are going that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 How much did that Minnesota starting pitcher help his stock last night? I was impressed with him, reminded me of Joe Blanton. That Kvasnicka guy on Minnesota though is nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
