June 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) Chicago White Sox @whitesox Hawkins was recommended by #WhiteSox scout Keith Staab #MLBDraft What a great name.
June 5, 201213 yr I hope Cleveland does not take Stroman so we don't have to hear about those comparisons for years.

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. Edited June 5, 201213 yr by SoxAce
June 5, 201213 yr 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! Edited June 5, 201213 yr by Soxfest

June 5, 201213 yr 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.

(dislike) He is our Texas amateur scout FYI. Logan wasn't a high pick was he? So the fact that he made it was really good. Not so good on Lance/McCulloch.

June 5, 201213 yr 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.
June 5, 201213 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 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.
June 5, 201213 yr 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.

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

June 5, 201213 yr Giolito to Washington - saw that coming. Makes me wish we had picked him even more.
June 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) First thing that stood out to me was his body. Kid is STACKED for a high schooler. He is thick. You don't see high school kids that big very often.
June 5, 201213 yr Washington gets Giolito...............If he works out great pick for the Nationals.
