June 7, 200421 yr Author I'm still trying to figure what our last picks name was exactly, can't find him anywhere. Raymond Leoda doesn't show up anywhere.
June 7, 200421 yr LOL! The White SOx for about the third time today forgot to shut their mic off after they made their pick.
June 7, 200421 yr I love the pick of Fields. The Sox minor league system has almost no depth at 3B and questions about Crede's future are being brought up. His stats were very consistant from 2002 to 2003. 2003 - .358/12/55 solid .968 fielding percentage 2004 - .362/10/47 .949 fielding percentage The thing that I like most about Fields 2004 season is the drastic improvement in plate disipline. He had a so-so strikeout to walk ratio in 2003(46:24), but showed drastic improvement in 2004(45:47). He could climb the system very fast. Lumsden seems like a safe pick with limited upside potential. His stats don't jump out at you, but he has decent stuff. Maybe a bit of a reach. Gonzalez seems like he could have the most upside potential of any of the Sox picks. The scouting report I read on this kid is very impressive. Whistler has me scratching my head. He had a great 2002 season, but his numbers have regressed both in 2003 and 2004. He only hit .279/7/44 in 2004 after hitting .328/18/46 in 2002. He is a local kid from Indiana and does provide a lefty bat. Does anyone know if ASU 1B Jeff Larish has been selected? I have seen this kid play a dozen times and he is an absolute stud. He would have been a much better pick than Whistler if avaliable. On a side note, OSU catcher Jason Jaramillo would be a great pick if he is still avaliable. He is solid defensively and a great hitter.
June 7, 200421 yr Author Grant Hansen, OSU After pitching a total of 38 innings in his first two seasons, in part because he had biceps tendinitis as a sophomore, Hansen has put up gaudy numbers for an Oklahoma City team with one of the gaudiest records in college baseball. He was 12-0, 2.55 with 93 strikeouts in 81 innings for the Stars, who were 70-5 and entered the NAIA World Series as the No. 1 seed. Hansen threw well for scouts in March, then tailed off a little bit before rebounding. At his best, he throws 90-94 mph and shows a knuckle-curve that drops off the table. At other times, he sits at 88-91 with a more ordinary breaking ball. Hansen has a classic pitching build at 6-foot-6 and 215 pounds. His delivery is clean and there aren't many miles on his arm. He could be a fourth- or fifth-rounder for a club that saw one of his better outings.

June 7, 200421 yr http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000501/ theres the link Tommy Vercetti He also fits in well with the sox too cus he played shoeless joe in Field of Dreams
June 7, 200421 yr He could be older though which would make him eligible for the draft. If so, I'll make sure I see him play. They are playing Fullerton at the super regional this weekend.
June 7, 200421 yr Author Wow found some more stuff on Donny Lucy, sorry if its been posted. He was a steal it sounds like. Bio Notes: Lucy was a 1st or 2nd Round talent as a H.S. senior but as with all of the Stanford signees, scouts passed him up in the Draft. Defensively, Lucy is a budding star behind the plate. He is a big, strong player with solid receiving skills and an excellent arm. Offensively, Lucy has plus speed for a catcher but needs to improve a swing that at present does not maximize the power that exists in his large frame.
