Anyone know if Casey is gonna be moving up anytime soon? He is a little old for A now after the injury, and he's playing great.
-
Sweeney is gonna be a very good one, I was searching around for pictures of him and ended up buying this for 31 dollars, lol.
-
I think you have to pay to hear it now, used to be free when I listened to it. I like it though, it goes very fast unlike other sports. Don't have much time to actually look and see who's left that you want them to pick.

Yeah but other sites get pretty pissy over giving out premium stuff, especially full articles. I've seen a few sites get threatened with legal trouble already.
-
You might want to edit that to just snippets or give brief details of it. BA can sue over premium usage.

lol aboz. That looks great but did you have to air brush off all of JJ's pimples?
-
Is Valido hurting? Or maybe has he just hit the wall so to speak. His average has been dropping and dropping.
-
BA's has its first 1st round projection out and it has us taking BJ Syzmanski an OF from Princeton. He was rated as the best athlete in college and the best power hitter, and 3rd fastest in college. I'm not sure thats a great idea to draft another OF even if he fell to us.

I'm changing it for a while to something plain, but to the point, until I can think of something better. I keep making things, then deciding I want something different lol.

A little more info about Suzuki.

I definitely wouldn't mind if we started spacing out our runs
in games. -
Gonna try uploading mine now, its not fancy, I just wanted something kinda classy for now until I get to use photoshop in the future. Here goes nothing :-).

That was some great information, thanks for showing me to that thread. When I saw Wyatt pitching at Tenn he was hitting 93-94 consistently, he has always had nice stuff, just command is the issue. I was kidding about the 99-100 mph guys, I know they are very hard to come by. I guess it just takes alot of luck to find a true power pitcher and keep him as a power pitcher. He has to have a strong arm first of all, then he has to stay healthy and keep working out to keep his arm strong.

lol Jason I'm just wondering how he ever played 3B, and Borchards arm isn't as good as originally thought during the draft talk. I watched him play a few games at Stanford and it was apparent to me then that some scouting went awry. I still think he's gonna be a player that everything will finally click when he's about 27 years old and he will be a solid player for some team, alot like Aaron Guiel did.
-
I agree Jason thats probably what is happening, I just hate it when BA and other places make comments that somebody has a 95 mph heater when they hit that maybe once or twice in an entire game. I'm perfectly happy with pitchers that sit at 93-95, I haven't seen much of that in our system even.
-
I think it has to do with our organizations pitching style philosophy. They seem to chance power pitchers stance or throwing angle for more control. I personally hate it, we end up turning Dan Wright who had 95mph stuff coming out of Arkansas, into a 90-91 mph pitcher which are a dime a dozen.
-
I can't believe I just looked at Millers ass.
-
We need to start drafting pitchers with 99-100 mph fastballs. Because by the time they get here, all of our "power" pitchers lose about 5-6 mph
-
I'm not so sure Morse has another season with the Sox. Isn't he going to be a 5th year minor leagure free agent after this year if he's not called up? I've been watching him since he was a skinny 17 year old we drafted, and at 22 his body has finally filled out and apparently the power has come. His batting average has dropped about 40 points in about 2 weeks though.
-
Thanks man, this board is awesome. I have really been missing out talking to myself on other boards, lol.
-
Hey Jason what are his vitals etc? I mean what size, and is he solid defensively and throwing the ball?

This is a guy that I REALLY hope we pick with one of our first 7 picks in the first 3 rounds. Billy Butler, about 6'1 230 I believe, 1B/OF
Supposedly could have the most power in the draft.
This from BA.com
"Butler looks best in the batter's box, and scouts are eager to see him with wood instead of metal in his hands. He'll have to move across the diamond to first, or with plus arm strength that helps him throw 93 mph off the mound, move to a corner outfield spot, but he has the raw power to make the move work. Butler has a mature approach. He trusts his quick hands and allows balls to get deep in the zone, giving him excellent loft power. He has natural rhythm to his swing and excellent hand-eye and body coordination."
