Rowand44 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 He strong. Swing reminds me a bit of Josh Hamilton's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 So, potential wise, is his ceiling something close to Buster Posey? Because if the Sox could have something like that, that would be a strong part of a foundation for a really good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Good call on his swing looking like Josh Hamilton. Dude looks legit. Hope he can can catch too. Edited June 11, 2016 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Posey's smaller in terms of overall size/build, a better all-around offensive and defensive player. Hard to make comparisons between one of the 2-3 best catchers in baseball over a 5 year period and someone who hasn't swung a wooden bat as a professional yet. Right now, Collins' game is 2/3rd's offense and 1/3rd defense, roughly. However, from everything Hostetler says, they plan on him sticking there as long as possible and won't contemplate a switch to 1B/DH/3B or corner of.

I think the better comp would probably be Evan Gattis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hostetler said right after the draft that Collins would go to W-S, Burdi to W-S or even Birmingham, and Hansen to AZL to gain confidence.

Yeah, feels like Burdi's AZL stint will be as long as Fulmer's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No MLB team has a minor league squad in Antarctica. It's late June. Where is it cold? He will be fine. Bogaerts grew up in Aruba and does just fine in Boston. Abreu is from Cuba. How has Vegas' Kris Bryant done with the Cubs? Edited June 21, 2016 by soxfan49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
