caulfield12 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hawkins continues to impress, 6 for his last 19. 8 homers and 33 RBI's in 200+ AB's at 3 levels. 900+ and 800+ OPS numbers at Kanny and W-S. Morel has had a good game tonight, but was in a 1/23 stretch after going 7/14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Charlotte was up 9-0. Now 14-13 Charlotte, going to the 9th. I'll skip the stale joke of converting the team names to NFL teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Charlotte wins. Take 2-0 lead in best-of-5. Going back to Charlotte for the rest of the series. So I assume they'll win and have to play the PCL champion next week. Delaying more call ups. Edited September 7, 2012 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ok, here is Hawkins HR from yesterday......can anyone tell me what the hell that ball is doing once it gets over the wall? It's seriously defying all laws of physics. It looks as it it hits a pole, then comes back, then zigzags a couple times before it lands behind the fence. I can't figure out what the hell is happening..... http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=24543277 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to Charlotte for the rest of the series. So I assume they'll win and have to play the PCL champion next week. Delaying more call ups. This is the IL semi. There's a best of 5 (I think, could be best of 7) against the winner of the other semi. Then that winner takes on the PCL champ in a one game playoff. As for Hawkins, what can be said. I know someone made a quip about not having a first rounder getting off to a hot start a few weeks ago. Can't say that anymore. He's the youngest in the league and tearing it up. He can start there next year with a chance to go to AA. He's the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yep, Sox would have to win a best of seven against Yankees (Scranton-WB) or Red Sox (Pawtucket) to win International League title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta think he kinda has to Just scanning the bottom 20 or so guys in BA's last 100 list, I'd think Hawkins could very easily get in there. But he isn't helped by the fact that he's in a Sox system that is still seen as very, very thin (and with good reason, though I think it's getting better). Reputation of system plays a big role in this, whether they say it or not, and reputation lags reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same contributors as the people who made that Top 20 White Sox prospects list that was just published? If so, I think we all know how useful that list will be.

You gotta think he kinda has to I could be wrong, but I feel like it's very rare for a team to have zero Top 100 prospects (BA's list). Therefore, I think either Hawkins or Thompson has to make it and based on his play at A/A+ I think Hawkins is the better prospect. How many high-schoolers have jumped off to a start like this in recent years? He's also having a much superior year than Almora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many high-schoolers have jumped off to a start like this in recent years? He's also having a much superior year than Almora. Guys like Almora who have early big hype will stay on the list longer than they should in some cases, because the same people who hyped them are the same ones who influence the list. Also, there is just the practicality that it is very difficult to track and analyze so many prospects in baseball with any real depth of knowledge, so the big names just tend to do better in these lists, even if there are indications they aren't living up to expectations. Plus add in the team/system perception I noted before too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
