Courtney Hawkins just hit a ball to Durham. Holy Moses. And he might have been fooled. #WhiteSox

 

Extremely early but ya gotta love the reports on him so far.

 

Our kid is back! 1-3, HR ("And he might have been fooled."), 2K.

Snodgress shelled. Not a good start to an important year for him.

 

 

Just doesn't seem like he has that dominating type of stuff...maybe a 5th, but more likely long relief or set-up.

 

 

Hawkins is the minor league version of Dunn...three outcomes (well, fewer walks).

May and Barnum both struggling out of the gate, Barnum still hitless.

 

Nice to see Anderson with all the extra base hits. Hopefully by the time he reaches the majors, he's a 15-18 homer guy with 30 steal potential. And, most importantly, sticking at SS instead of 2B or CF.

 

Micah Johnson 2 for 3, but I don't think he's going to put up more than 50-60 steals this season in AA.

I don't think anyone has any idea as to what Hawkins is yet. It's a tad soon to be labeling him as a 3 outcome guy. And if he turns into that guy he will have a very successful career.

Here are Hawkin's Homers from the last nights and some video on Tim Anderson courtesy of Nathaniel Stoltz.

First, here's Courtney Hawkins' mammoth blast from yesterday:

You can't really see where the ball lands in the video. It ended up landing on the concourse to the right of the wooden roof.

Here's Courtney Hawkins' homer from tonight:

… Note to Carolina League pitchers: No offspeed stuff in the zone to him!

 

Here's the video:

 

Also: Hawkins strikes out here but actually takes some breaking balls:

 

Now onto Tim Anderson.

 

Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 2h

Took seven viewings to see it, but Tim Anderson's talent was crystal clear tonight on both sides of the ball.

Here's Anderson ripping a double to right-center:

And here Anderson pulls a single:

Here's Anderson going oppo for a triple: Everyone wanted him to go for the inside-the-parker.

I'm not getting excited yet because we saw the exact same story last year. Look at his start to the year last season, he had like 10 HR after 25 games.

 

No, I'm totally with you. That's what I was alluding to. He'll hit a ridiculous bomb and spend the rest of his at-bats flailing away at the same breaking ball away from him.

Again, today is April 6th. This thread is named "4/5 games".

 

 

Ooops...that's what happens when you leave your browser on and are barely awake at 430 a.m., haha.

 

Too many beers at the coffee shop I guess.

 

It's actually April the 7th, lol. China time.

That would be freaking huge for him.
