2 Walks and HR? Pull him. Can't get better than that!

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 3m Draft pop-up candidate: Spencer Adams, HS RHP in Georgia. 6-5, 180. Reminds scout of young Waino. FB 93-96. Distinct CB and SL, good change.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 07:53 AM) wtf happened to Johnson? Very disappointing. He seems very tentative and his fastball velocity is down. I'm wondering what the hell happened as well.

Kendall Rogers ‏@KendallRogersPG 1h #TCU commit and top #MLBDraft prospect Tyler Kolek hit 100 last night, and struck out 16. That’s pretty good. http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/25347190...s-16-strikeouts … Expand KW was there.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) Well, Rodon About time the touted Rodon showed up.

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw 1m Heard TCU LHP Brandon Finnegan left tonight's game after a trainer visit to the mound Expand

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:18 PM) Rodon keeps on mowing down Yellow Jackets. Two more K's...10 through first 11 batters faced. Finally gave up a single up the middle. Groundout to pitcher. Through 4 now. Draft thread.

Jim Shonerd ‏@jimshonerdBA 6m Rodon looking sensational, best I've seen him this year. Thru 3 IP: 8 K, 0 H, 1 BB. Touched 96 and 97 in the 3rd. #mlbdraft

Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427 2m Rodon fans the side again. He's got eight Ks through three. Up to 96 with some filthy CHs. #MLBDraft Sounds like Rodon is on tonight. Fastball velocity is up.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:39 AM) Why? Because you don't like Hoffman? Great. Now when the HS arms go 1-2, the Sox can draft Trea Turner at #3. Joy. Eh. More of the same from him. He keeps drive-by posting in this thread with his hyperbolic Rodon praise. Adds nothing of substance.

Via Kiley: Keeping my fingers crossed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) Bad news indeed on Hoffman, as I can't see the Sox drafting him now. Hopefully this puts Aiken/Kolek more in play, and not Beede. Still not totally sure how serious the Hoffman soreness is, but I would agree. Hope Rodon goes 1-1 which sets us up nicely for Aiken or Kolek.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 07:47 PM) 12-2 GO/FO ratio Indeed. I'd like to see some swing and miss too though.

Where are the K's Mr. Danish?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 06:39 PM) Hawkins with walk #6. Has "slumped" recently down to .294 but still 12th in the Carolina League in batting average. Hawkins hasn't walked today.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) Not an impact prospect yet, but might we have something in Trey Michalczewhatever? Quite a pup, having just turned 19, and holding his own. Perhaps. I loved the draft pick. Overslot guy who has lots of potential. Hoping the power comes along. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/mino...-keeps-bashing/

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) Jeez, Chris Beck Yep. Not going to be doing much if he doesn't start missing some bats.

Lol

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 08:51 PM) Thompson has 3 walks today! Wooo Micah now has 3 as well.

Trea Turner with 2 HRs tonight. Making that late push to be pick number 3!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2014 -> 08:19 PM) Micah Johnson making very few outs of late. I was expecting some struggles with Micah, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Him and Trayce are tearing it up so far.

Fun bad! Not that it matters really. This is a rebuilding team and Paulino never was going to a part of the long term plan.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 18, 2014 -> 08:10 PM) How has Rienzo looked so far in the minors? Not good.

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba 3m Rodon is done. Jon Olczak in. Rodon's line: 8 IP 6 H 1 R/ER 3 BB 7 SO 1 HBP 115 pitches. #MLBDraft

Chris Crawford ‏@CrawfordChrisV 6m Carlos Rodon through 4: 2 H, 2 BB, 0 ER, 1 K against Boston College. Meh.
