Anyone know much about him or links to scouting reports? I read a little blurb on Future Sox. I waited for it to happen as I didn't want to jinx him but he had his first strikeout to 8 walks after 21 at bats. He like many of our prospects walked more than he struck out and this is a very very small sample size but was kinda wondering what kind of prospect status he has?

I don't know more than you, am not surprised at the walks as that was the profile that was at FS.

 

I kinda file these guys in the box with Aaron Schnurbusch. He's a little different since he was a draft-eligible sophomore, but idea being enjoy the success while they beat up on younger players, but don't really get too interested until they start to hit above their weight.

Me too. With so many college guys drafted we should dominate their leagues. I was intrigued by him because he is 20 years old which is younger than many of our picks.

I can already tell I am going to like following this kid. Played his freshman year at Vandy, and did pretty well. Not sure what the story was with him transferring to Binghamton.

 

I think we'll see him in Kanny before too long. Anyone know how is defense is?

I think it will be tough to promote him with Remillard there now and Burger presumably on the way, unless they want to try him at another position.

True. However, I think Burger will be in WS before long.

 

Remillard's numbers aren't exactly exciting.

Yurchak seems to have plus plate discipline, I don't know anything about his position or defense. Has not shown much power as of yet.

Without looking in to it, I would guess because Vandy is a powerhouse team every year and he couldn't be guaranteed a spot on an all-star lineup. The fact that Vandy recruited him and played him as a freshman speaks volumes.

i think he played at wake forest iirc, not vandy. I certainly don't remember him at vandy

He hit a homer tonight

You're right, ChiSox59 is a damn dirty liar!

 

Similar logic applies though, but not as extreme as Vandy.

My bad boys! It must have been the colors!!

 

I still really like Yurchak!

I do note that Yurchak has already committed 4 errors in his first 10 games. Have not heard anything about his defense, but that's alot of errors in a short span.
