NorthSideSox72 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Anyone know anything about this Garrett Johnson guy, started last night for Kanny? Looks like 29th round 2006, the dude is listed at 6'10" and 205 pounds (skinny). Spent 2007 at Bristol in relief, did terrible, but at age 19. Then in 2008 at 20, repeated Bristol and did pretty well, but as a starter (not often you see the move that direction). Now he's at Kanny at age 21, startting again. Â Anyone have any knowledge on this guy, other than what I can get from baseball cube? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost a couple AAP's this offseason (Sergio Miranda traded, Po-Yu Lin released), and another one is no longer a prospect (Wassermann). So I think I may pick this guy up, if no one else minds. Seems like a long shot guy with tools, but is raw, so he could be interesting.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Does anyone know much about Derek Rodriguez, the pitcher who got promoted to Charlotte? Apparently he was doing pretty well in Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Rodriguez has one of the best pen arms in the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prosp...009/268037.html  Daniel Hudson #5 on this week's Prospect Hot Sheet. That's two weeks in a row with a Sox prospect on the list, I don't recall a single time last year where the Sox had a prospect on the hot sheet.

JPN366 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Miguel Socolovich was placed on the W-S DL and Kevin Asselin was promoted (from extended spring training I assume) to take his place. He pitched for Bristol last year and was a 30th round pick in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 So I was just doing some digging around and found out that Tyler Flowers and Drew O'Neil (our 4th round pick last year) were high school teammates. Nothing groundbreaking, but just thought I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 BA On Viciedo Fred (Ohio): How disappointing is the performance of Dayan Viciedo? I thought he would have a period of adjustment; however, I didn't think he would struggle this much with pitch recognition. Â Ben Badler: I couldn't believe people thought before the season that he had a chance to start the year in Chicago. I was surprised they even put him right in Double-A. He has raw power, but like you said, his pitch recognition looks woeful right now. He probably belongs in high Class A in the Carolina League.

Any moron could look at his stats/age and ascertain what Badler said. I want his job: just writing fairly obvious statements about players.

Chisoxfn Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 From ProjectProspect.com According to thebaseballcube.com's draft data, 18 shortstops have been selected Top 10 overall since 1989. Not counting Tim Beckham (2008, No. 1 overall pick) and Gordon Beckham (2008, No. 8), eight of them still haven't spent a full season in the big leagues (that's 44.4%). And three of them have never played in the bigs. Â Pretty telling statistic and if I were a scouting director it would probably scare me a bit about taking a SS super early in the draft. Than again, I tend to believe shortstops are the best athletes in the field and as a rule of thumb I'd draft quite a few of em throughout the draft with a theory they could play any up the middle position.
