Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It's telling the lack of 'enthusiasm' over this guy. Nobody cared when he signed. Nobody really cares that he's debuting tonight. Hopefully he proves me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was talked about in the minor league thread last week when it first came out he was signed, and people have asked why he hasn't played yet as well.

Let's just say the anticipation is nowhere near what it was for Beckham, Mitchell or Sale. Then again, he was a comp pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 11:05 PM) What's the over/under on him sucking? I guess it all depends on whether you fall in love with him in a few years on Birmingham or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 He's got a lot of talent. Whether the Sox or he can do anything with that talent is yet to be seen, but this is far from a bad draft choice. Perhaps not the best, but most definitely not the worst. I'm excited to have him start playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited to have him start playing. I saw him play last year year in Alaska. They did a double header on July 4th starting at 9pm so it's dark enough by 1am to do fireworks. He impressed me with his athleticism in the outfield, made a couple of great plays. I don't recall much about his hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'd be interested to get a consensus on his speed. Reports I've read have it ranging from 60 to 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm guessing it is closer to 80 than 60. And he has some serious athletic ability. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3636405 I'm quite honestly liking this pick more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 When he was talking to Farmer and DJ, he said the Sox scout who signed him had him at 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
