June 6, 20178 yr K-town Intimidators @Intimidators now ROSTER MOVE: #Intimidators have received @whitesox 2012 first round pick Courtney Hawkins from @BhamBarons. He will bat 3rd as DH today. Wow, quite the demotion, but probably long overdue, didn't expect it to be Kanny though.
June 6, 20178 yr Wow. I'm hoping this is a prelude to him turning into a pitcher. A stern warning that you won't make it to the show as a hitter way and aren't close.
June 6, 20178 yr Hostetler was talking at Soxfest about these huge swing and miss guys with 1st round talent. He said 1 in 5 make it. Hawkins wasn't the 1.

Hawkins is a prime example of why I am down on the Sox drafting guys with bat to ball issues like Jordon Adell. Your other tools may be off the charts, but if you can't hit those tools are going to do nothing for you.

Hawkins wasn't the 1. Definitely something to keep in mind when thinking about the Sox supposed interest in Jeren Kendall.
June 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 11:00 AM) Definitely something to keep in mind when thinking about the Sox supposed interest in Jeren Kendall. To be fair, for everyone who wants to look at Courtney Hawkins, it would be just as easy to look at Tim Anderson.
June 6, 20178 yr Author Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 7s 2012 first rounder is rehabbing at Kannapolis. Will go to Winston-Salem from there and return to Bham shortly thereafter. in reference to Hawkins being sent to Kanny.

The power is there, he just does not make enough contact to make any use of it. AAA or MLB pitching would eat him alive

AAA or MLB pitching would eat him alive He's only 23 and the Sox have had a bevy of 25-27 year olds suddenly turn it on this year. Surprise us and join the club, Courtney.
