May 2, 201312 yr Winston-Salem Dash @WSDashBaseball 18m #WhiteSox top prospect Courtney Hawkins left the game in the 4th after a great diving catch to end the 3rd. Left the field on his own power.
May 2, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 1, 2013 -> 06:39 PM) Hawkins, or Jared Mitchell? Both...although Mitchell's arm is weak. And Thompson can play some D as well.

Sorry, I was responding to the thread title, bringing up how our last promising top OF prospect also hurt himself making an awesome catch (or maybe attempting, I can't remember if Mitchell caught it).
May 2, 201312 yr There are quite a few prospects in the org noted for defense. Anyway, W-S is saying Hawkins is day-to-day, but they won't get into further detail just now.

And that was including Jordan Danks.
May 2, 201312 yr http://www.journalnow.com/sports/dash_base...19bb30f31a.html How can the Winston-Salem newspaper have an article about the game and not mention an injury to the most important prospect in the White Sox system? Must not be that serious it didn't even merit a mention in the game story.

Sorry, were we just talking outfielders? Thompson and JorDanks definitely considered plus out there. Mitchell has gotten good reviews for range and glove, but not arm. Walker apparently also has big range and a good glove, and a better arm than Mitchell, but Walker doesn't have the route instincts yet (or didn't last I read anything about him - could have changed by now). Hawkins is raw of course. Haddow is supposedly a solid glove and a plus arm. That's about it for OF guys I know of, defensively.
May 2, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:07 PM) Shoulder strain. Will be evaluated in NC and later Chicago. There goes his future conversion to being a pitcher
May 2, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) There goes his future conversion to being a pitcher Left shoulder. He's still got the backup plan.
May 2, 201312 yr Maybe this injury will cause him to have limited range-of-motion in his left shoulder and subsequently, fix the huge ass hitch in his swing.
May 5, 201312 yr Buddy Bell is on the Score. Said Hawkins will get checked out in Chicago this week. Expected to be 3-4 week injury.

May 25, 201312 yr Hawkins should be back at Winston-Salem in about 10 days. He's going to Arizona next week, per Buddy Bell.
