I hope Cleveland does not take Stroman so we don't have to hear about those comparisons for years.

Glad we didn't draft that travieso doucher

Yikes.. He was the one who advocated KW of trading for Danks (like) but also recommended Broadway, McCulloch and Boone Logan. (dislike)

 

He is our Texas amateur scout FYI.

Wait everyone loves this pick? Man this kid is gonna suck. ;)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:40 PM)
He was also taken way higher than either of them.

True but they both were picked way ahead of projections at least Hawkins pick not a reach!

#Indians have a shot at better college P than they could have hoped. I'm predicting Stratton over Wacha at 15. #mlbdraft

Hard not to like him after seeing those limited clips of him. Could be a very special kid.

My only gripe is passing on giolato... either gio or Hawkins was a good choice for long term development.

 

I like the pick.

Logan wasn't a high pick was he? So the fact that he made it was really good. Not so good on Lance/McCulloch.

No pitcher for the Tribe.

Naquin? WTF? Awful.

We sign him, hopefully. Then he goes to Bristol this year, then Kanny next year, then W-S in 2014, then three yrs at Charlotte. Geez, I'll have to change my name to OlderSox. Good luck, youngster.

Based on what Doug Laumann told me last week for the draft preview, you can safely bet on pitching at No. 48 for the White Sox

No he wasn't and I liked Logan at the time. Made it at a very young age too. Hopefully that was more of the sox willingness to draft safe at the time than his actual scouting for upside.

Law had him at 25 so he probably won't like pick

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 5, 2012 -> 12:37 AM)
What does Keith Law think?

 

Hopefully he says he can't hit offspeed pitches, just like he said Sale doesn't project to throw a good offspeed pitch.

7 years in the minors - putting him in the bigs at 26???

If that happens - he's a bust.

 

I'd hope to see him up by the time he's 22 or 23

First thing that stood out to me was his body. Kid is STACKED for a high schooler.

I'd say he'll be in our bullpen in about a month

Love what the Nationals have been doing.

Giolito to Washington - saw that coming.

Makes me wish we had picked him even more.

He is thick. You don't see high school kids that big very often.

Strasburg-Giolito sounds tough

Washington gets Giolito...............If he works out great pick for the Nationals.
