I repeat... BACON SLAYER!

BACON SLAYER!

What current or former Major League players do you try to model your game after?

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 11:33 AM) Beckham is batting .400 with RISP If he keeps hitting like he has the past few days, Ozzie is going to have to bump him up in the batting order.

Here comes the biggest power threat in the lineup, he has homered in 50% of his ABs!

Slayer is starting to drive balls, I like this.

Opposite field hit! It's a single, an RBI, and a 2 base error, as Mitchell goes all the way from first to third on a throwing error. 3-4 2 2B, RBI on the night.

I'm liking what I've seen from Mitchell in this game. He hasn't looked afraid to swing, has shown a great eye, hit 2 doubles, and put a charge into a ball that wound up being an out. Had it been to RF, it would've been out.

Mitchell finally swings at one, and it's very encouraging. Hard liner to right that took a great play by the 1B to prevent extra bases. He got robbed pretty badly. Swing looked good too.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 13, 2009 -> 07:52 PM) The kid wanted to get on base. He got on base. What's the problem? A little more aggressiveness on a center cut fastball would be nice. Honestly the rest of the pitches I don't really blame him for taking.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 13, 2009 -> 06:30 PM) Shows a good eye and walks. Is that a good eye or a reluctance to swing? He had a center cut fastball, and barely even tried to swing at it.

He just took a fastball down broadway, 5 pitches with 2 runners on and he hasn't even feigned a swing, 3-2 count, and he walks. Not one swing.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 13, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) It's all academic really though. With Peavy this team still sucks. And in the AL, he becomes a solid pitcher, but not an ACE like in the NL. He has the 2nd best ERA in baseball since 2005. Only Santana has been better in that span. I doubt moving him to the AL would make him much worse. In fact, his first year in the AL, he'd probably have an overwhelming advantage with his electric stuff considering AL hitters have rarely if ever hit against him.

Sox pick LHP Ryan Crowley from Morton West HS.

Sox pick RHP Danny Wiltz from Tennessee (SR)

Sox pick LHP Alex Farotto from South Carolina Columbia (SR)

Sox pick RHP Chase Cooney from Volunteer State CC (Juco)

Sox pick RHP Jacob Wilson from New Mexico St. (SR) Also, the Giants pick Seastrunk in round 31.

Sox pick CF Michael Hamme from Campbell (SR)

So will there be a Day 3 thread? Because Day 3 is underway.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 03:47 PM) Seastrunk is still available I believe (havent checked in about 10 mins tho, which is a long time in this stage). He would be a solid pick up but would require overslot at this point to keep him from going back to school. I haven't seen his name, but haven't been paying all that much attention.

Sox pick RHP Charles Delk from Clemson (SR) and with that, I'm gone.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) We didn't draft any catchers after Phegley, did we? So I'm guessing our two Rookie Ball catchers will be Phegley and Dubler. Unless we draft another one soon-ish, then maybe Phegley goes to Kanny. Not as of yet. I'm sticking around for the 29th, but need to leave shortly.

Sox pick 3B Robert Cummings from UC Santa Barbara (SR)

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) Eric Decker was just drafted. I'd have to imagine he has a better chance of making the NFL as a WR than MLB. He's a stud for the Gophers. I thought I recognized that name.
