Jay hasn't been impressive. Fastball seems flat.

I won't beef with him against Swanson though. That kid is a stud. My favorite college hitter.

Very windy today and that stadium takes balls out in the jetstream.

He is going to be a really nice player

My mind is set on Carson Fulmer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 03:00 PM)
Jay appears to be a fly ball pitcher. Some good swings by the righties off him.

Before today he'd given up 0 HR in 60.1 IP.

I don't think Kyle Tucker or that HS catcher will be there for the Sox to take but if either one is the Sox better take em

You trust the development people to make these guys into MLB starters?

Didn't see the 1st hr, but the 2nd one wouldn't have gone out without the howling wind. Still hard hit.

 

 

Swanson doubles off Jay now.

First one was a no doubter. Even the announcers said it wind or no wind.

Kiley McDaniel

I don't think that's the reason, but I'm told the Cubs take him if he's there.

 

Comment From Jeff Gross

What's the probability that the Cubs sign Trenton Clark, giving them a possible Addison & Clark duo?

Really poor location with the slider throughout this game by Jay. Was able to get away with those against Big 10 competition but that isn't going to work at higher levels.

Have heard that a couple of pitchers White Sox are looking at have the chance to help team at some point this season

No way whoever it is debuts this season if they aren't competing.

Need hitters not pitchers right now.

This isn't surprising, I'm guessing the sox like Fulmer

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 03:50 PM)
IIRC, Baseball America was reporting his signing demands were scaring off some teams as well. I think I saw that when going through the 2009 draft thread on this site a few weeks ago.

 

It's not all that uncommon that we hear about these things and the kid ends up signing for the slot he's drafted at. Sometimes the team calls the kid's bluff and he just takes the money and runs.

Or they throw out fake numbers because they don't want a certain team to draft them. Heck, there was an article last week that said Boras told the Sox they couldn't afford Rodon.

I've read that some scouts like his curveball better for that very reason, he controls it much better

Keep going with pitching until proven otherwise. We never develop any hitting. Wait for someone like Hawkins or Anderson to come up and do damage.

Fulmer, Jay, Tate. Also the order I have them.

Comment From Eric

Kiley, in what order do you think the White Sox rank Tate, Fullmer, and Jay?

Yeah, do what you are good at. If you end up with too much pitching, you trade it for hitting.

I meant for THIS season.
