Dam.

Just watched some video of Porda on mlb.com. Not a lot of life on his fastball, which explains the low K rate. Cooper doesn't have have a good track record with teaching lefties good offspeed pitches.

are we really calling for firings during a draft of a guy half of the people on this board have never heard of and 99.9 percent have never seen. These are prospects for god sakes, most of these guys will never sniff the show

That sucks. I liked what I read about him, but just didn't want the Sox to take him so early. There's the problem with having ZERO supplemental picks, though.

Coop can't fix him ?!?!?! :o

Schilling to the 9th now with the NO HITTER!!!!!!!!!! He's going to pitch the no hitter watch!!!!!!!!

BTW, Schill no-no, he has no walks either and it was an error that will keep him from the PG possibly.

He's sure worked wonders with the offspeed, or should I say lack of, pitches of Thornton and Cotts.

Burgess is gone.

Sorry, but how can you make a statement like that? I have a hard time believing you have seen him throw a pitch(aside from the 10 second clips on ESPN)

 

Your going to make that statement just on some scouting reports you have read from various online sites? Sure you can gather the best information possible to find out what type of pitcher the Sox drafted, but you have no idea on how this guy projects.

 

I just find it hard to project a guy who only throws fastballs to be extremely productive against MLB hitters when he can't even average 2 strike outs every 3 innings. According to a scout after the pick, he said "well, good luck letting Yankees hitters put the ball in play compared to letting Santa Clara hitters".

Boones is nice now as well.

By who?

Let's go Oakland, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap.

Sucks that Jackson got taken.

 

Sounded like a damn solid SS prospect which we could desperately use, but it wasn't worth reaching for him at 25.

f*** you schilling

cooper got to thornton by the time he was 28, developing pitches at the minor leagues isn't on cooper, its on the minor league coaches .....so yeah youre right cotts never had an offspeed pitch maybe that the guys in the minors fault maybe not, but cooper isnt really responsible for that either

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:46 PM)
So I hear we drafted Andrew Sisco?

 

No, Matt Thornton!

He's a one-pitch pitcher, that ain't no all-star. Its extremely hard to develope two secondary pitches from poor to above-average. And I am just going with the Sox track record of first selections in the drafts recently where we have 0 all-stars.

f***ing f*** f*** f*** I hate Schilling.

 

Gonna be hilarious when his no no is talked about for 3 months and Buehrle's lasted about 2 days. :P
