June 7, 200718 yr 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.
June 7, 200718 yr 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
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:39 PM) Jackson off the board at 45. 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.
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) i hope he blows it. whay didnt we draft him!!!

June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 02:33 PM) While I'm on my cursing binge... f*** YOU ESPN WITH THIS BULLs***, I WANT THE f***ING CONFERENCE CALL BACK, NOT EVEN SHOWING THE f***ING SUPPLEMENTAL ROUND MAKING ME WATCH IT VIA THE DRAFT TRACKER!!!! Why is this taking so long.

June 7, 200718 yr Schilling to the 9th now with the NO HITTER!!!!!!!!!! He's going to pitch the no hitter watch!!!!!!!!
June 7, 200718 yr BTW, Schill no-no, he has no walks either and it was an error that will keep him from the PG possibly. Edited June 7, 200718 yr by maggsmaggs
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:42 PM) Coop can't fix him ?!?!?! He's sure worked wonders with the offspeed, or should I say lack of, pitches of Thornton and Cotts.
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:43 PM) 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".
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:43 PM) He's sure worked wonders with the offspeed, or should I say lack of, pitches of Thornton and Cotts. Boones is nice now as well.
June 7, 200718 yr 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.
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:43 PM) He's sure worked wonders with the offspeed, or should I say lack of, pitches of Thornton and Cotts. 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
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 09:46 PM) So I hear we drafted Andrew Sisco? No, Matt Thornton!

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. 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.
June 7, 200718 yr 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.
