Quinarvy got to spend some time talking with Blake Hickman, the White Sox' 7th round pick this year. He's a Chicago native (Simeon HS), ACE Program guy, and a converted pitcher (from catcher) out of University of Iowa. Shortly after signing, he had to have TJ surgery.

As a Cyclone, I am not sure I agree with that.

 

Of course, ISU dropped baseball like 10 or 15 years ago, so you won't see any Cyclones in the majors anyway.

 

Blake really wants to be a role model for kids in the inner city, which was really refreshing to hear.

 

real good questions that were asked.

 

what i was very surprise about were the way he answered them.... very nice and professional.

 

a another excellent prospects in the fold.

 

great job.
