Eminor3rd Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 16, 2014 -> 02:30 PM) Tyler Kolek = Johnathan Broxton. He looks more like Gavin Floyd to me. Mechanics-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Clint Longenecker @Clint_BA 4m Rodon 90-93, touching 95 thru 3 vs VT. 2 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks. 11 swinging strikes. 70 pitches. Favoring slower mid 80s SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 John Manuel @johnmanuelba 1m Sounds like @CarlosRodon16 is coming out after 5 IP and about 107 pitches. 5 IP 8 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 6 SO ... 2nd straight game at 107 pitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2014 -> 04:15 PM) Wonder if someone said something to Avent with Rodon's pitch counts reverting back to an acceptable number. Not entirely sure, but it sounds like his performance tonight was underwhelming according to most industry sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 If they were both available, I wonder if the Sox would take Aiken or Kolek? It's funny, as I seem to change my mind weekly about who I would want them to take if they had the first pick. Rodon is the safer pick of the three, but who knows how his slider adjusts to the different baseball in the majors. I would love to see one of the big name catchers fall into the 2nd round.

I'm firmly on the Aiken train. Sorta kinda preferring an underslot Freeland over Rodon currently too. He's getting rave reviews. BA loves him. Getting a Chris Sale vibe from him. Lanky lefty, similar armslot, similar pitch mix too (though the change isn't stellar). Edited May 16, 2014 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I guess Kolek isn't as big as I thought he'd be. I mean, he is thick, but he looks pretty athletic for his size. Also, he seems pretty likable too. Edited May 16, 2014 by Chilihead90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 My dream draft goes Round 1: Tyler Kolek - RHP Round 2-5: Jackson Reetz - C Forrest Wall - 2B/OF Spencer Adams - RHP Rounds 6-10: Kel Johnson - OF/1B I wouldn't be mad if the Sox went overslot to draft Gatewood in Round Two, another guy who could fall is Monte Harrison because he is a two sport athlete and holds a football scholarship to play at the Nebraska so any team will have to go overlot to sign him.

beautox Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If we land Rodon with #3 I wouldn't mind picking up his switch hitting battery mate Brett Austin(.323 /.393/.466) with our 3rd round pick, and if Casey Gillaspie falls to #44 that would make me very happy.

winninguglyin83 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 rounds 6-to-10 Dustin DeMuth, left-handed hitting third baseman at Indiana. Has reached base in all but two games this season. stellar glove a senior so he won't go super high and he angered some scouts last season because the Twins took him in sixth round and he didn't sign. but he's worth a shot.

In Thursday night's game he snapped a 45-game streak of reaching base. Minnesota has pitched the Schwarber/Travis/DeMuth trio well in this series, they haven't done much so far. I was kinda surprised DeMuth didn't sign last year, but it was the 8th round, which can be borderline for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if he goes higher than the sixth round. Highly productive seniors can be quite valuable given the bonus caps. They don't have much leverage and are likely going to sign under-slot deals, which gives teams more money for signability players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'll be happy with any of the top three. All of them have a chance to be a good major leaguer. I'm more worried about us going rogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
