Spencer Adams, #WhiteSox, is a great pick in round 2 - was very sharp at #PGNational, easy to see future increased velo

 

He can already dial it up to 95/96

 

That's just encouraging to hear.

But what are the chances we actually sign him?

I loved this quote:

 

Gosh darn those fast moving lefties with frontline potential.

I'm just going to go ahead and not believe he actually wrote that

Thorburn (BP) is the guy to go to for mechanics, IMO. He did biomechanical analysis professionally for years. I think it was for some video scouting company or something.

Even then it's what you look for. I've got hundreds of hours of analysis for research but who is to say what puts an unacceptable stress in a certain area. I take my view from the Andrews/Wilk group which is vastly different from the Morgan or House/Ryan/Rothschild groups.

I haven't seen anything published by Thorburn, the name doesn't ring a bell. I'll look.

Good.

I'd be shocked if they don't sign him.

He writes a column called "Raising Aces" on BP that I've always found fascinating. Check that out and tell me if it's BS or not

I don't understand why the question marks aren't coachable.

I'm just going to go ahead and not believe he actually wrote that

 

"He's got a chance to be a valuable lefty arm this year, and, really, not many teams have much use for that, especially the White Sox."

Good.

 

 

I'd be shocked if they don't sign him.

 

I heard it was a 50% chance we sign both of them, so I didn't know how to take that.

Without giving too much though:

1. Rodon

2. Hawkins

3. Anderson

4. Adams

5. Micah

 

Hawkins isn't anything more than organizational filler.

Quick mech report on Rodon: near-perfect balance, plus posture, saloon-door stride, plus torque and momentum: B power, B+ stability

I heard it was a 50% chance we sign both of them, so I didn't know how to take that.

Where did you hear this?

From Bleacher report: MLB Player Comparison: Jeff Samardzija

 

Adams doesn’t profile as a No. 1 or 2 starter like Jeff Samardzija, but he does draw comparisons to the Cubs right-hander for his overall athleticism, highly projectable frame and potential to boast at least average command of a plus fastball/slider combo.

I heard it was a 50% chance we sign both of them, so I didn't know how to take that.

Little nugget: they've known Rodon's demands for awhile. They are in the office right now with lawyers.

You heard wrong

Lol stop it.

He can't possibly be as big of a douchebag.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin now

 

White Sox don't seem worried about Adam's signability, despite him being a Georgia recruit

Where did you hear this?

Some lesser-known insider

I did. i see he is aprt of the National Pitching association (NPA) which is the Tom house, Nolan Ryan, Larry Rothschild group. These are the guys that taught Mark Prior how to pitch and proclaimed his mechanics perfect. If you've heard of the towel drill and the football throwing drill, this is them.

While i like their analysis method, I'm not a huge fan of their idea of the perfect mechanics and some of the drill to teach them.

Why hasn't Bukaukas been drafted? Any chance he gets to 77?

Awesome

Wow. Spencer Adams needs to clean up his twitter account pronto. Some very questionable pictures and phrases used.

Good it'd be nice to have a Verlander type with Sale, Q, Rodon.
