JJ Cooper is at the W-S game for BA. I'd assume he will be tweeting about Beck and Hawkins.

Not sure where to put this. Via Sickels: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/4/23/4...ameday-april-23

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 08:35 PM) Anyone disagree that Erik Johnson is making himself into a top 100 prospect? Still a bit early, but it appears that way. Could be a pretty solid middle of the rotation type. Despite the system's positional player woes, it could have some nice pitching in Johnson, Beck, and Snodgress.

Lulz

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 07:28 PM) Know what I miss about Swisher? Nothing. I'd still take him. Buying high and selling low after 1 down year was just awful.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 03:24 PM) Please make some changes. I think the inevitable change will be a long overdue rebuild. Can't say I'd disagree with it either.

Fan-murdering White Sox baseball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) It's usually quite rare that there's an obviously best player available when you draft at any spot other than the top couple choices. More common is you get to choose from a handful of roughly equal value picks. The last time I can remember the Sox having a clear best player available to choose from, it was this guy name Chris Sale. Many considered Hawkins to be the BPA at the Sox draft position last year as well. I was rather surprised he was still around.

This year's draft strength seems to be college pitching. Though the Sox need to draft the BPA regardless of position and age. Will weigh in on some players I like when I have more free time.

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 20, 2013 -> 02:24 PM) I dont like this guy's strike zone It seems awful for both teams at least.

Worley looks terrible. Also, thank god for no Hawk.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) Um, yes Yep. I'd like to see some more strikeouts though.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) Hawkins, 3 K's, error, assist Add another K to that.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 07:13 PM) Joey DeMichele really isn't anything, is he? He's an interesting prospect. Certainly not nothing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Beck had a strange line. 4 2/3, 4 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 3 BB's, 3 K's That isn't his line. He went: 6.0 IP 5 H 0 ER 3 BB 6 SO The Dash only gave up 1 run in the game and it was by Jason Van Skike.

Interesting names on the slate this evening. Here's hoping Hawkins starts to cut down that 65% K-rate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 05:13 PM) Someone asked earlier what type of leash Flowers would have this year, and they better give him the whole season to prove he's MLB caliber. If not, then you move on from him next year. They committed to Flowers and Viciedo during the offseason, so you might as well see if you have anything there outside of a platoon player. Without question. Not like there are many good alternatives at this point either.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) Matt Harvey has a no-hitter through 6 in Minnesota. Big fan of his. Mets will be even more interesting once Wheeler gets the call.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 04:43 PM) Did they issue warnings? Yep. To both teams.

lol

This Cleveland team could be decent. Going to come down to pitching though.

Oof.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) So have Viciedo completely abandoned the leg kick yet? He did it at least once in his last at bat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) How many pitches can I throw right down the middle of the plate at the Cuban Batter before he swings and misses? Apparently one more as long as you change speeds.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 04:01 PM) That ball hit his glove Indeed.
