DBAHO Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Even Zach Jackson who was a mid 1st rounder last week would be a good pick here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I sure hope we get Vargas. When I say stud potential, I mean it. The guy has totally turned things around and is really a pretty damn good pitcher. His secondary pitches are really coming around and his velocity has only been going up.

Palehosefan Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Here ya go, Zach Jackson from BA Â In his first start for the Aggies after transferring from Louisville, Jackson spun a seven-inning no-hitter against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. He was even better later, taking a perfect game into the ninth inning at Nebraska and striking out 13 in a shutout of Kansas State, but slumped in his final two outings before regional play. Teams that covet performance won't be able to ignore his numbers from the Cape Cod League last summer (6-0, 1.88) or with Texas A&M this spring (10-5, 3.55, 110-24 strikeout-walk ratio in 104 innings. Jackson commands three solid pitches: an 88-93 mph fastball that holds its velocity for nine innings, a slider that's a big improvement over his old curveball and a circle changeup. He's durable and athletic at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, and the fact that he's lefthanded enhances the total package even more. Jackson's recent efforts have pushed him from the supplemental first-round to the middle of the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 When I say stud potential, I mean it. The guy has totally turned things around and is really a pretty damn good pitcher. His secondary pitches are really coming around and his velocity has only been going up. Maybe I heard wrong, but somewhere I heard that he is potentially a reliever? Is that untrue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotop Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Sounds like a quality lefty to me. Wouldn't mind Jackson and Vargas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 BA thinks he's gonna be a relief pitcher because he doesn't have a secondary pitch really yet, but that can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Jackson and Vargas. Â Jackson and Howell. Â Vargas and Howell. Â Who cares, 2 of those 3 lefties would be an outsanding supplemental draft. Â SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 I've never heard a draft take nearly this long. Normally its rapid fire, a short break and then more rapid fire. I guess they are trying to make it more fan friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Jackson and Vargas. Jackson and Howell.  Vargas and Howell.  Who cares, 2 of those 3 lefties would be an outsanding supplemental draft.  SB I think Howell may just fall to the third round, but I'd also like to take this kid. I really wanted him in the second round coming into the draft and still do. Good numbers in the Big 12.  Sandwich round begins!  Royals take JP Howell (DAMNIT)!

Chisoxfn Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I'd say Suzuki, the guy creamed the ball at the regional yesterday. Hit a shot about 420 to dead center and in the 2nd game he was a triple shy of the cycle. Â KC just takes Howell from Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
