NorthSideSox72 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 FS getting our first interview up this week, probably another next week. Tomorrow I'm likely going to talk with James Dykstra, but if I can't get him, it would be Adam Engel. So... what questions would you ask of either or both? Let 'em rip, I'll try to use as many as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Dykstra: How do you see yourself as a pitcher? How do you see yourself in MLB? What stuff do you throw? How's life in SoCal? How was your time at LSU compared to CSSM? Rather pitch in Hickory during SAL ASG or WS as another rotation member? Best opponent you've faced? Engel: Describe yourself as a player, 5 tool? Ever meet Teddy Bridgewater? Favorite L-Ville team besides baseball? How crazy was it at L-Ville when L-Ville won both Hoops titles, a volleyball title, and made it to CWS? As a big Ohio State Football fan (so is Brad Goldberg in WS), explain to me why Shazier deserved a Heisman nominee over Te'o in 2013 (I completely think that) Toughest P faced? Both: Goals for 2014? How do you like Kanny and the rest of the SALLY League? Favorite town so far? Future road trip most excited about? Favorite MLB team? Favorite MLB player? Favorite ChiSox player? Borat or Bruno? (we all know it's Borat) Fan of instant replay in MLB? (certainly not) How was the draft experience? Who's really been helping you out in ChiSox organization? What coaches and players? (both in ST and Minors) Pumped for NHL Playoffs? Favorite teammates in Kanny? Edited April 16, 2014 by ChiSoxJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Regarding your personal improvement in your baseball skills since turning pro, what has been the most important? professional coaching higher level of competition physical maturation/weight training Would you have been better off signing a pro contract out of high school?

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 16, 2014 -> 11:09 AM) I'd like to know Engel's thought process after getting drafted in the 18th. He could have gone back for his senior year and got drafted higher but he didn't. Basically my question is why didn't he? That's a good question, though I'd imagine there were about 100,000 reasons why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks everyone for the ideas. Dykstra interview done, will publish Monday morning. Hopefully we get a bunch of other interviews in this year - we did 25 players and 3 managers last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
