Buehrle>Wood Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Why did Hickman fall so far? Obviously very signable. Mechanics straight forward. Medical or he told teams to f off and he'd only sign with the sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Could be a good time to go with Justin Garza. A guy that would have been top 3 rounds (pre-injury). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Athletic switch hitter with arm strength, but has to work on his receiving skills. Can hit from both sides of the plate w/more power from right side of the plate. Callis liked the pick. I like the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce_Blixton Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 #232 - Casey Schroeder - C - Coastal Carolina Switch-hitter, Callis and Mayo were just raving about his athleticism. Can't have enough catching in the system. A couple of prep players that could be interesting names after the 10th: Fitz Stadler, Glenbrook South kid committed to Arizona St. so signability is an issue, John Aiello, switch-hitting SS/3B that had TJS last season seems similar to Trey Michalczewski, & Chris Andritsos, 6'4" righty that has seen his velocity dip this spring but has the projectability and apparently a great mental make-up, also a signability issue.

Kyyle23 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Why did Hickman fall so far? The MLB blurb I just read said that he kind of took a step back this season, he couldn't maintain his FB velocity deep into games. They said it was dipping to high 80s. They also mentioned that his slider looked more like a curve this season, he wasn't getting the sharp break he had in the previous season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I was wondering the same thing with Daz somehow making it to the Astros third pick. Yeah, but Daz did it for the money. Can't see the Sox having too much money to give him. Could be more to do with the fact he had a 5.55 K/9 and 4.48 BB/9 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsiskel Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) Thanks KyYIE23. I'm curious to see if the Sox continue to start him or move him into a relief role. BA Article from 2014 "Schroeder transitioned from infielder to catcher in high school in hopes of increasing his draft stock, and he spent two years at Polk State (Fla.) JC. The Athletics drafted him in the 14th round this June, but he opted to transfer to Coastal Carolina for his junior year. Defensively, his blocking and receiving are strong, but he needs to improve his footwork to ensure smoother transfers and lower pop times. At the plate, the switch-hitter struggled this summer, hitting .236 between the regular season and playoffs. He needs to improve his pitch recognition, but he has strength in his 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame." Edited June 9, 2015 by wsiskel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Wouldn't say he struggled hitting just because his batting average was .230. His BABIP was .221 and he walked a ton and hit for power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Indians selected Garza. We'll see him in their pen in a few years. They seem to have no concerns over guys sitting out with tommy john this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
