southsider2k5 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 He was a 16 round pick in an organization that is now loaded with OFs in the lower levels of the minors. If he was that highly thought of, I am sure he wouldn't be playing in an independent league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a baseball nut I'd love to know about this, even in minors, seems like it's always publicized in NFL, NBA, and even NHL more and more Most MiLB guys are super good guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Former White Sox farmhand Courtney Hawkins got himself a half page article in the Houston Chronicle on Sunday based on his performance in a Texas independent league. Quote Hawkins started his professional career with Chicago’s rookie-level affiliate and in 2015 worked his way to the Class AA Birmingham Barons. But a series of injuries ultimately led to his release. He had a season-ending injury in 2015 and an oblique tear in 2016. In March 2017, he was diagnosed with hyperthyroid disease. “I was always tired,” Hawkins said. “I was fidgety. My hands were shaking all the time. I couldn’t play ball like that. I tried to push through, just because I had injuries in the prior years. When you have your injuries in the prior years, the last thing you want is another injury to hold you back.” Hawkins’ weight went from 245 to 220 pounds, and his strength decreased. So did his production. In 2016, he totaled 12 home runs and 60 RBIs while hitting .203 in 122 games. Hawkins matched the 12 home runs in 2017, but his RBI total dropped to 33 while he hit .205 in 91 games. Hawkins got off to a slow start in 2018, hitting .120 with no homers and three RBIs in nine games. The White Sox released him on April 18 and that month he signed with the Skeeters. Hawkins has regained his power with Sugar Land, as evidenced by his 10 home runs (second in the Atlantic League) and 40 RBIs in 50 games through Saturday. In his last 10 games, Hawkins is hitting .310 (10-for-33). He hopes to get picked up by a major league franchise and continue to pursue his dream of playing at the highest level. “It’s only a matter of time before he gets picked up again, because there’s not many players with that kind of ceiling,” Skeeters manager Pete Incaviglia said. “(He has the) ability to not only hit for power, but he’s actually a pretty smart hitter. He’s got a good approach. It won’t be long before we’ll see him in the big leagues.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Lambert promoted to AA. Park to A+. I'm assuming Dunning goes to the DL Dunning did put on his instagram story saying Praise the Lord and he was in Chicago so maybe good news. It has been taken down probably because nothing official has come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 What is the longest Robert has gone without getting hurt? I know these injuries aren’t all that serious in nature, but the consistency of them has to become a concern pretty soon. If you are hurt all the time when you are 20; I don’t see how that projects to being relatively healthy down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thoughts on Robert's swing? Not impressed when you see the side view, as his timing looks way off. Besides the soreness, I think it shows why the power has been non-existent: https://mobile.twitter.com/2080adam/status/1013811407735967745 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Carson Fulmer got this writeup in the Sun-Times today. Quote Under the guidance of Knights pitching coach Steve McCatty, Fulmer is toiling on his mechanics. He’s using his powerful legs more to drive toward the plate and avoid side-to-side movement. Managing tempo and the consistency of his violent delivery — not to mention the basic act of throwing strikes — remain serious challenges. Meanwhile, there is no telling if Fulmer will get another extended audition as a starter. But the rotation is where he aims to be, especially if and when the going gets good for the rebuilding Sox.
