If you're a good hitter and good pitcher, your average is likely higher. Example: 2.50 era and .300 batting avg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a good hitter and good pitcher, your average is likely higher. Example: 2.50 era and .300 batting avg. I thought the reason it was noteworthy is because batting average can't go above 1 while ERA can. So a .300 batting average is equivalent to a 0.30 ERA, not a 3.00 ERA.

I didn't really look at it that way since, as you said l, can't go over 1.000 in regards to batting avg. But just looking at the 3 numbers ignoring the decimal I guess. 255 era 300 avg.

Blayne Enlow is a high upside high school arm with a very projectable 6'4", 180 lb frame Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 60 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 55 Projects to have two plus pitches and above average control.

beautox Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 11:16 AM) Do we want Jo Adell in this scenario? SS Brady McConnell? His tools are off the chart some are referring to him as Bo Jackson if he only played baseball. I'm sure the white sox will take BPA and if that is an arm that falls a bit like Faedo, Lange or Houck I wouldn't be against it and with their recent success of graduating Thompson I wouldn't be against going for Adell if he is on the board at 11. the most surprising thing about BA's latest mock is the rise of Austin Beck and the slight depression of Kendall.

A long solo shot to left makes it 6-4 UNC. 4m Alan @ProfessorFog @FPiliereD1 Does he project as a 1st rounder?

harfman77 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 11:16 AM) Do we want Jo Adell in this scenario? SS Brady McConnell? We already have that guy in Courtney Hawkins. I don't think you can risk the #11 pick in a rebuild on a guy with pitch recognition and bat to ball issues. The power is legit, but it does no one any good if he can't make enough contact to make it play. If the board breaks that way, I think the Sox would be better off finding a guy underslot at this point and getting some more value out of their second and third picks as I believe everything from 11-20 is a tier below the tier from 5-10. Its still much to early to tell how the draft board will look three months from now as there will be a lot of kids that find helium in May while others slide down and the tiers are better defined.

Boopa1219 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think that Jo Adell is better than Hawkins at this stage. I could be in the minority, that 2012 class was stacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be, but I have a feeling he will be selected prior to the #11 overall pick We should have a nice selection of players that could arguably have gone top 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
