TheTruth05 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) Unfortunately, no. It's funny, because MLB.com's writeup specifically praises his makeup. Hmm it'll be interesting to keep up with this.Thanx for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) Gonzo looks like a poor man's Kendall to me tool's wise. Not bad in the 3rd round and that plate discipline is pretty impressive. Don't think he's got much power in that bat though. Poor man's Kendall as in a grade down in every other tool, and one grade up in the hitting department. But this is the type of player I have more confidence that the Sox could develop versus Kendall, no complaint here for a 3rd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 https://baseballdraftreport.com/2017/04/05/...ort-louisville/ It’s tough to pick between Kade McClure and Lincoln Henzman as the surer bet — in as much as any young pitcher is a “sure bet” — professionally. The output has been similar, the velocity is similar (88-92, 94 peak), the breaking balls are similar (average 76-83 hybrid pitch for McClure, average 83-87 cut-slider for Henzman)…there’s not a whole lot of separation here. McClure has the size advantage (6-7, 230 to Henzman’s 6-2, 200) while Henzman, my preference by the slimmest of margins, shows the better present changeup at 84-87 MPH with splitter action. I think both wind up as big league contributors within a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Cutter: 50 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45 Grades from Callis/Mayo His write up is very favorable with the low ranking due to assumed reliever. If they move him to starter he is intriguing as hell to me. Reported very good at preventing home runs by "blitzing the bottom of the zone" (callis' words with blitzing the zone) Plus change and good fastball. Improving slider. Sounds like a guy that could be really fun with a cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the type of player I have more confidence that the Sox could develop versus Kendall, no complaint here for a 3rd round pick. So a 50-55 hit tool, 40 game/45 raw power, 60 speed, 50 arm, 60 field. I like that spread a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:16 PM) That was a different guy. Sox were speculatively planning Henzman for the third round a few weeks back. Henzman had a tough finish to the year at Louisville. Sox love them some Louisville kids though. Sorry, must have got mixed up. Remember you mentioning sox scouts again being all over louisville.

Chisoxfn Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 David Banuelos is a guy I'd have liked the Sox to draft. His bat might not play, but he really really has a shot at being an elite defensive catcher, which I think works in this era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
