Rowand44 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 This is seriously Jared Mitchell all over again except Mitchell was playing at the division 1 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITESOXRANDY Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 "Scouts say he needs to cut down on his strikeouts"..........umm.....cool? Not to worry. The Sox are great at getting guys to cut down on their strikeouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) At least this isn't a safe pick. Has got good on-base skills (.500+ OBP) and top-of-the-line speed (65 SBs to 3 CSs). Clear boom or bust. It's not a safe pick, but it's not a "sexy" pick either. This is a guy with 4 homers in 216 at-bats while striking out 45 times at the Juco level. This is a guy we could have gotten with our next pick at 80 most likely. Ugh, another year of garbage front office drafting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Based on Sickels' review, I don't think he would have lasted til our second-round pick. I actually like this kid's tools, but our track record with raw, toolsy outfielders makes you think he will be more bust than boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:51 PM) From Sickels. Makes me feel a little better, but on MLB Network they said he had above-average speed, not blazing speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Anyone know if his league uses wood bats? That could be an interesting storyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Soxfan Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Total let down, at least it was not some overdraft of a college pitcher. It is interesting that on the mlbnetwork, they stated above average speed and Sickles says he's an 80...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
