April 24, 201312 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130424 Day games. Beck starting. Hawkins back in the lineup. Beck's got an ERA. Hawkins made an error. Edited April 24, 201312 yr by flavum
April 24, 201312 yr JJ Cooper is at the W-S game for BA. I'd assume he will be tweeting about Beck and Hawkins.
April 24, 201312 yr Chris Beck gave up his first runs of the season. QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 11:24 AM) Hawkins 0-2, 2 K's, error. How long? How long must we sing this song? Demoting him to Kanny isn't going to fix him. He needs to go back to Instructionals in AZ, or be taken aside and given some personal, mechanical attention. Daily. For a while.

April 24, 201312 yr Honestly, if Johnson & Beck keep pitching well, they both have a good chance of being top 100 prospects. Given our stable of left-handed starters at the major league level, developing a right-handed starter or two to replace Floyd and eventually Peavy would be absolutely huge.
April 24, 201312 yr Wilkins starting to heat up, good to see. I'm still a fan of his, and the organization is short on 1B prospects.
April 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 02:17 PM) If anyone's curious, yes Hawkins is already retweeting about how he hit a HR. Yeah, I see that, my feed is full of him retweeting people mentioning his 6th HR. I really think he might be a little full of himself.

April 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 02:28 PM) Is he doing that during a game or might someone else be doing it for him? I dunno. Twitter says it was an hour ago, but I have no idea when the W-S game ended.

April 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 11:28 AM) Is he doing that during a game or might someone else be doing it for him? Neither answer is very good. He is either so full of himself, that he's tweeting about himself, either during a game (AWFUL) or right after (still as bad) or he has such an ego he needs an entourage of one of his dumb buddies to re-tweet about him for him. Hawkins needs to grow up and grow up fast.

Hawkins needs to grow up and grow up fast. Isn't he 19?? I expect that from a 19 year old but he does need to grow up and it will be happen.
April 25, 201312 yr Why would Rienzo be ranked over Snodgress? I would think with the fact that Snodgress is a lefty and doesn't have the PED's concerns surrounding him that other organizations would be higher on him than Rienzo (unless they're acquiring to market him to that tiny niche of Brazilian baseball fans, haha).

Rienzo has put up impressive numbers at higher levels.
April 25, 201312 yr Can't believe 37 of Hawkins' 55 AB's (not counting walks/hbp) have ended up as K's. The funniest part is he still has a 720 OPS. I remember the days when we would have been "pleased as punch" for Brian Anderson to be able to put up a 720 at the major league level. Now we have BrYan Anderson and Lars Anderson at Charlotte. Wonder what happened to the real Brian Anderson? And how much of his original signing bonus is left? With Joe Borchard, surely the family was smart enough to invest that $5.3 million...they seemed to be a very down-to-earth, modest, blue collar labor/farming family.

April 25, 201312 yr QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 04:51 PM) Rienzo, Castro, Beck, Snodgress. Rank these guys in order. Snodgress, Beck, Castro, Rienzo QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2013 -> 07:32 PM) Rienzo has put up impressive numbers at higher levels. No he hasn't. He's struggled in AAA. Snodgress is putting up good numbers in AA, which is the most Rienzo has ever done.
April 25, 201312 yr But it's probably fair to say that Beck has the most potential (his status as a potential Top 5-10 pick heading into the last college baseball season), or certainly, hype surrounding him. Snodgress and Johnson are still flying a little under the radar to most unfamiliar with the Sox system.
