Kevin Goldstein did a "Projection of category leaders" for 2012 draftees. Basically, which player who was just drafted is the most likely to lead the draft class in each stat.......

 

He picked Courtney Hawkins to lead the 2012 draft class in Homeruns....

Shockingly, Keith Law wonders if he can make enough contact. Physically, Hawkins to me looks like a far more chiseled version of Viciedo.

I'm not sure I put Hawkins above Mitchell just yet. Hawkins is a high schooler who hasn't seen a pro pitch yet. But he is, at worst, the #2 prospect in the Sox system.

SOX could draft the guys taken 1-2-3 in 2012 draft and he would say they were all garbage...........his act is beyond old.

I still have major questions about Mitchell. Goldstein was right to say Hawkins is No. 1 by a wide margin.

Is Hawkins' high school team still in the state playoffs?

Did he take BP at the Cell tonight?

Did he take BP at the Cell tonight?

Yes he did. He said he hit pretty well. He used to weigh 275. His older brother whipped him into shape.
