That could be an interesting storyline. 99% positive the league does. Heads, you bastard. Edited June 7, 2011 by Cerbaho-WG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 So has there been a mad rush to claim Keenyn Martin as their AAP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hooray, Law already s***ting all over the pick: Never went to see him. Plays an hour from my house. + Run. Bat LONG way off.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Law's profile for Walker........ Summary : Walker is an 80 runner on the 20-80 scouting scale, and one of the fastest runners in the draft this year. He's consistently timed at less than four seconds from home to first, and that speed could eventually translate into outfield range although it doesn't yet. His routes are not good and the swings from both sides need a lot of help, with a real tendency to get his hands out front and make weak contact when he makes contact at all. His plate discipline also isn't strong. However, he's a special kind of athlete that we rarely find in the baseball draft and will still go in the top few rounds despite the flaws. So we just drafted Juan Pierre 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Wow, what a Kenny pick. A speedy outfielder that strikes out too much, and he plays in Arizona. K, whatever. Call me when he gets to AA. Hopefully they get some good arms tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every fanbase thinks he is "anti-their team." You see it all over his Twitter. I don't see any reason to think he's biased. He's just an ass, but that's okay.

southsideirish71 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Shocker white sox pick another good athlete black kid. How about picking a good baseball player. Ah the Guillens good for a foot in mouth experience. The funny thing is that I wonder who was a better prospect Oney Guillen or Carrie Schueler. Tomorrow should be lots of TJ patients who are relievers for a mid level college that have high ERAs for pitching.

He only played baseball at UIC because of his name, and only got the chance to have a .376 minor league OPS because of his name. His baseball ability is about the same as a few people on this board, and that ain't a lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see it all over his Twitter. I don't see any reason to think he's biased. He's just an ass, but that's okay. He really is a piece of crap. I read an ESPN article of his once and in the comments someone went after his opinions. He ended up getting into a long argument with the poster and actually made several personal attacks on the guy just because he questioned his opinion. He was about as professional as a 6th grader and got flamed pretty unmercifully by the other commenters for being so immature to attack a reader for voicing his opinion. If you want to be a professional writer you better have a little bit thicker skin than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 If you want to watch some seriously awesome "scouting" video of our kinda sorta first round pick bluff bunting and then getting hit by a pitch, here ya go! and his 2009 HS scouting video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id...tent_id=4625607 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
