southsider2k5 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hickman was being talked about as a top 3 round pick going into the draft. He might be the biggest sleeper in the minors for the Sox. He probably won't have much of an impact just after TJS, but he is a guy who could explode into our top 5 next year.

Is he going to be starting? I think Jordan Stephens is a guy that could easily be a top 10 guy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Blake Hickman @BlakeHickman18 3h3 hours ago Graduated from 45 feet to 60 feet only now. Slow process but it'll be worth it in the end. #TJsurvivor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) That's the guy Nick Capra thinks is as good as Fulmer. More specifically, he thinks he COULD be, is what he said. And I really doubt it. But certainly Hickman is one to keep an eye on, though I'd suggest one shouldn't focus on his 2016 numbers. His goal for this season is just to get stretched back out, gain strength back, and log innings. 2017 will tell you what you've really got. Word is, Hickman will likely be with AZL for most or all of this season. Full season ball would come in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In true form, Capra replied, “I put him right up there with Fulmer That was from Future Sox. He said the exact same thing at Soxfest when he was asked about under the radar guys.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Capra has talked up Hickman too though, which is what I thought you were getting at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Blake Hickman @BlakeHickman18 6m6 minutes ago Looking at around August until I'm back into game form. A ton of work has to be put in until that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If Hickman bursts onto the scene this year, the Sox would have a fairly nice stockpile of young starters. Adams (19), Guerrero (21), Stephens (23), Danish (21), Fulmer (22), Clark (22), and Solorzano (19) just to name a few of the better ones.
