Cali Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) Chicago White Sox @whitesox Hawkins was recommended by #WhiteSox scout Keith Staab #MLBDraft What a great name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I hope Cleveland does not take Stroman so we don't have to hear about those comparisons for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one who advocated KW of trading for Danks (like) but also recommended Broadway, McCulloch and Boone Logan. (dislike) He is our Texas amateur scout FYI.

Soxfest Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:40 PM) He was also taken way higher than either of them. True but they both were picked way ahead of projections at least Hawkins pick not a reach! Edited June 5, 2012 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Jim Callis @jimcallisBA #Indians have a shot at better college P than they could have hoped.

hi8is Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hard not to like him after seeing those limited clips of him. Could be a very special kid. My only gripe is passing on giolato... either gio or Hawkins was a good choice for long term development. I like the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the fact that he made it was really good. Not so good on Lance/McCulloch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 We sign him, hopefully. Then he goes to Bristol this year, then Kanny next year, then W-S in 2014, then three yrs at Charlotte. Geez, I'll have to change my name to OlderSox. Good luck, youngster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Scott Merkin @scottmerkin Based on what Doug Laumann told me last week for the draft preview, you can safely bet on pitching at No. 48 for the White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so good on Lance/McCulloch. No he wasn't and I liked Logan at the time. Made it at a very young age too. Hopefully that was more of the sox willingness to draft safe at the time than his actual scouting for upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he says he can't hit offspeed pitches, just like he said Sale doesn't project to throw a good offspeed pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, youngster. 7 years in the minors - putting him in the bigs at 26??? If that happens - he's a bust. I'd hope to see him up by the time he's 22 or 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 First thing that stood out to me was his body. Kid is STACKED for a high schooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
