caulfield12 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (BPK @ Jun 24, 2013 -> 07:28 PM) He was completely overwhelmed in both of those Ks too. Just wandering aimlessly through each at bat. Are you there, physically, watching him? Let's go guys. The goal is to have longer minor league threads than Game Threads for the White Sox. That will be a telling indictment of this season for the front office to consider. That there are quite a few Sox fans who care about the minor league results than anything happening in Chicago. It's definitely more interesting and compelling. Especially the Hawkins situation. Edited June 25, 2013 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) That Bristol lineup is going to have a very difficult time scoring runs, yikes It's always that way. The Sox give them the younger or lower drafted players and the team always struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPK Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 24, 2013 -> 07:30 PM) Are you there, physically, watching him? Nah, watching on the milb.tv deal. The camera angle doesn't allow you to see anything mechanical in any detail, but his approach still leaps out at you. He lunges after everything that spins, and as soon as a pitcher gets him to chase one thing, he can throw it again another two times and the at bat's over. Basically, it's what we've all read about, but somehow even more painful to watch. Also, I haven't seen him run into one of the HRs, so I don't have that to mitigate my depression.

Even on most of his homers, you can see how awful his mechanics are. If you go on milb.com and search Hawkins, it will come up with a handful of videos showing his homers.

He (Thompson) has to be...nobody else has more raw (overall) potential in the system, other than Hawkins. Some might argue Barnum, Tim Anderson or Micah, but it's one of those five, as far as position players go.

The fact he is very likely to stick as legitimate CF by most accounts is a big deal. I'm pleased that the Sox have let him develop at a more conservative pace.

Never said I was giving up on Hawkins. Far from it, but something has to be done soon to help him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
