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.

Raymond Liotta

Matt Hansen picked by the Sox

Sox take Matt Hanson/Henson.

LOL!

 

The White SOx for about the third time today forgot to shut their mic off after they made their pick.

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.

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.

Sounds like a Kris Honel clone.

Lol that's exactly what I thought when I read that.

Aww boo, Cubs select Mark Reed. BOOO!

Ray Liotta

 

COMMENT: BIG & TALL. STRONG, RAW-BONED BUILD. GOOD STRENGTH THROUGHOUT. BUILD SIMILAR TO ANDY PETTITTE. HIGH 3/4 TO OVERHEAD DELIVERY. FB MOSTLY 86-87 W/ SOME LATE TAILING ACTION. GOOD ARM EXTENTION, FRONT & BACK. CB OCCAISION TIGHT ROTATION W/ LATE BREAK. DURABLE BODY THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU INNGS. DID NOT PITCH ALL OF LAST YR.

Did not pitch all of last year...?

That looks like the same report of my link, didn't see a 2003 listed.

What happened to the Ga Tech boys? Why hasn't Owings or Patterson been taken yet?

  • Author

Scouting report on Patterson just isn't that flattering at all.

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.

AWW CRAP, Colorado got Iannetta, he's gonna be a good one up there.

the dodgers dude is funny

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.

Lasourda is hilarious when announcing the dodgers' picks. I Love it.
