White Sox Draft Recap

It just occurred to me, thanks to comments in the previous thread, that today is an off-day. There will be no gamethread for me to forget to post. So, I suppose I should write something. Anything.
How about a quick recap of the '08 draft? No? Too bad. Here it is.
White Sox 2008 Draft Class
-
Gordon Beckham -- After holding out until the final week before the deadline, Beckham showed no signs of rust in his first games as a pro, going 7-11 with a HR in his first 3 games. He hit a rough patch (1-25) late to drop his line to .310/.365/.500 in 58 at-bats. He should start the '09 season in Winston-Salem at the lowest, but could open as high as AA if pushed. I expect him to finish the season in B'ham.
-
Jordan Danks -- While Danks was the Sox 7th round pick in the '08 draft, I'm listing him here because he got the second-richest bonus. For all intents and purposes, he was their second round pick. Danks, like Beckham, found quick success in Kannapolis, starting his pro career with a 6-game hitting streak. He closed the season with a .325/.400/.625 line with 2 HR and 7 extra-base hits in his 40 at-bats.
Of serious concern though, is his alarming strikeout total of 14. Scouts have been disappointed that Danks didn't show the power growth that they expected at the collegiate level, but I was never concerned. He'll hit his HR in the majors, but only if he shows some growth in his contact skills.
This isn't an issue that can be explained away by small sample size either. He had a similar strikeout rate to Texas teammate Kyle Russell, who fell in the draft each of the last two seasons because of concerns about his contact skills, and had what I would consider a high K total for semi-pro ball (though I have no clue where to find those stats again. Larry?).
-
Brent Morel -- I wasn't thrilled with this pick based largely on the low walk-rate demonstrated by Morel in college. He quickly proved that he was too advanced for rookie-ball and settled in nicely with the first two in Kannapolis. While I didn't like the numbers on Morel, I could see what the Sox scouts saw of him in his video. His swing looks more major league ready than Danks or Beckham, short and compact, and should allow him to hit for a high average throughout the minor leagues. He's showed a respectable eye in low-A, but the lack of discipline he showed in college allow with his limited power figure to relegate him to utility player status in the majors (in my extremely premature estimation). He's said to have a plus glove, so any improvements in walk rate or power potential could turn him into starter material.
-
Drew O'Neil -- O'Neil posted some gaudy numbers as the Penn State closer thanks to his funky delivery and extreme groundball inducing ability. He's been able to carry over the groundballs and strikeouts, but his control hasn't been up to par. I expected O'Neil to move very quickly through the system (and he still could), but his first 30 innings were a huge disappointment.
-
Daniel Hudson -- A bit of a sleeper, Hudson, like Cassell of a couple years ago has good but not great stuff across the board, a low 90's fastball and a average-to-plus curve. He's something of a young Javier Vazquez in that he has continued to post high strikeout and low walk totals, but has been unable to prevent runs from crossing the plate as much as you would expect.
-
Ken Williams -- He's kinda fast, but so is Kent Gerst. I never saw any news on an injury, but he didn't see any game action since late June. I'd rather just assume he was injured and not the alternative, that the Great Falls coaching staff decided he was worthless after 11 games of .114/.279/.229.
-
Steven Upchurch -- I know, I'm going out of order again, but this is about where Upchurch fits in based on bonus received. He was ranked as the top prospect in the state of Alabama by Baseball America, and was thought to be about a 3rd round talent, though the Sox got him for 5-6th round money. Upchurch has a projectable body, and already boasts a low-90's fastball. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start in Kanny next year, but even if he doesn't it won't be too much of a disappointment because of his age and upside.
- Dexter Carter -- Out of order again, but Carter is the last notable player the Sox drafted, at least as far as I'm concerned. Carter was a college teammate of Hudson, and has posted remarkably similar numbers, maybe even better than Hudson, at Great Falls. I'd call it another steal in the 13th round, but last draft's steal Sergio Miranda wasn't exactly lighting up the minors this season.
There you go. Now you have a place to bitch about Nick Punto and Kenny Williams Jr in one neat little thread.

So lame.
And I see 3 mentions/comparisons to the death tolls over there, including in the second sentence of the article - forgive me, I just don’t see the relevance, other than to present an image that Chicago is supremely dangerous; present the idea that Iraq is somehow going well; or just to have some bullshit comparison to Iraq to make the article more appealing. They could have easily left it in the sub-header (or not), and then not mentioned it again until the very last paragraph, and the idea would have gotten across just fine.
Also, I don’t have to channel my inner-Pops. I have his genes and 24 years of influence – I’m pretty sure I don’t need to channel him to opine like him.

the point that (predominantly) black men living on chicago's south and west side are being shot and killed at higher levels than americans in iraq seems a rather salient one.
despite it’s obvious use as an attention grabber, and one that has been used many times in the past. we should perhaps be aware of why journalists and others need to resort to such tactics to draw attention to the high level of gun violence in chicago.

Aside from a general lack of creativity on the part of the journalist? Because I can see attention needs be drawn to the topic, but us readers can't do much about it other than acknowledge its existence.
And maybe get a vest if we plan on venturing into those areas.
I don’t need that comparison to be able to process that that number is ridiculous.
I presume that anyone in a position to take action on this subject, already knows about it, and doesn’t need the cbs.com Iraq comparison to see that 125 deaths-by-shooting in a span of 3 months is unsettling.
Besides, the body count in Iraq has been considerably lower this summer, compared to previous months/years. Last April and May (2007) alone combined to total 223 deaths – in two months time.
So while the comparison (though still beaten to death) makes the article stand out in terms of how awful crime has been in Chicago, I think it cheaply compares two ideas that really have no relation.
Maybe I would have like to seen an “expert opinion” quote or speculation as to why this figure is what it is – what is going on in our economy that creates more violence? I work in a corporate job and have a certifiable degree and still am struggling to stay afloat – no doubt that people in far worse situations are handling the economical stresses differently.
(WU) What may rile me up, if anything, is the need to dumb everything down and put news into such plain, blanketed terms for the greater audience of Americans. Like I said, most people don’t need to have that Iraq bit to identify the problem. Only stupid ones. I wish media would challenge the audience to heighten our minds, rather than cater and contribute to the ever-dulling of our nation’s intelligence. That definitely riles me.

a rather naive presumption. i would note that smart people like you usually need the “stupid ones” to get something done.
and, if i may, i wouldn’t call it “dumbing down” per se. this is for tv, remember. when someone says to you “125 people have been shot and killed in chicago” that fact doesn’t mean much to most people without a context and would be in one ear and out the other. make a comparison that requires someone to put a bit of thought into what the comparison, however malformed you think it is, means does the trick much better.

So even if you were watching it on tv and the anchor said,
“In the past 3 months, (insert any city) has racked up 125 shooting deaths….” …that number wouldn’t strike you as crazy outright?
(obviously this is not the language they would use but you get the idea)…
Why not compare this total to another city in the US, for example? Why not compare to New York’s crime rate or LA’s? Seems like those comparisons would be just as effective in conveying the “holy shit” of it, and far more contextual and relative.
Then, if you really really couldn’t resist, throw that Iraq comparison in at the very end of the article/story. For shits and giggles.

I think a larger point is also missed here
the 125 killed in Iraq are American soldiers. If they were to quote the number of civilians killed in Iraq over the course of the summer and then compare that to the number of civilians killed in Chicago, it would make for a better comparison.
Or you could compare the number of police officers killed in Chicago to the total number of soldiers killed in Iraq and get a better comparison as well. Personally, I think the comparison of Chicago’s per capita crime statistics to those of New York, LA, Washington, etc. would be ideal.

Isn't the newspaper dumbed down to an 8th grade comprehension level?
TV then has to be 6th grade, tops. Trust me, I encounter people from all walks of life every day and I am amazed at how uninformed (I’m being very gentle here) people are. For example, my secretary (10th grade education – yes, we have tons of talent here in Cent’l FL) asked me the other day when ordering me a new name tag that includes my home town (I swear I am not making this up) “OK, Chicago is where you are from, but what is the town?” Sadly, the question was filtered through her by someone in our HR department, so that would be an 0-for 2 in average intelligence.
You can get quality media from a multitude of sources, and I do. You can also get the sources that appeal to the “car crash” rubberneckers, of which there are too many to count. And most people outside of the south side of Chicago could care that “black on black” crime is soaring in Chicago’s south side. and I think you’d agree it merits attention.

I have not said it didn't merit attention. All I was annoyed by, was the unnecessary Iraq shit. And then related that to my overall annoyance of media getting worse and worse..in conjunction with us getting stupider.
It makes sense, but that does not mean that it doesn’t rile me (which was the only point of bringing that up).
And your anecdote about your secretary is hilarious.
Sounds all too familiar.
I want to cry every time I receive an email from some dipshit making $100,000 more than me per year, and it is full of grammar and spelling errors, and typically asks questions I have already explained thoroughly in the email they are replying to!!!
AHHHH!!!!!! We are adrift in a sea of dumb shits!!
And yes, I do realize that there is good media out there (much smaller amounts than crap media). But you know full well that the majority of Americans are not seeking it out rather than flipping on Fox News.

On that note, does anyone have a handle on whether the Twinkies are a fastball hitting team?
I assume the Sox are such a team.
I’m wondering if there’s a good, general way to get a sense of if a team will get owned by certain pitchers.
As an example, pitcher X is a great fastball pitcher and is facing team Y, a team filled with guys that crush breaking balls but aren’t so great at catching up to fastballs. Prognosis, team Y will have a tough time with pitcher X.

Great news from Cowley if his "team source" is good...
“Quentin could be back in lineup against Angels”
After further testing Thursday afternoon, early results on the MVP right forearm and wrist of White Sox left fielder Carlos Quentin were ‘‘good so far,’’ a team source said.
That doesn’t mean, however, that the Sox were ready to breathe a deep sigh of relief just yet as they await further opinion, expected by Friday afternoon.
Quentin, who leads the American League with 36 home runs and has been the Sox’ most consistent offensive player all season, was a late scratch before Monday’s game in Cleveland after the injury flared up during batting practice. He was plunked on the forearm area a few weeks ago and hasn’t been able to shake the pain associated with it since.
If the Sox get the thumbs up Friday morning, Quentin could be back in the lineup for the start of the Angels series.

Well, we know what JRE's real name is:
From Rosenblog:
I know it’s been discussed here a lot, but the difference between 2005 and 2006 et al. is the lineup with guaranteed scoring versus a lineup that must score when it can. Getting rid of Carl Everett and Aaron Rowand for Jim Thome with Konerko and Dye returned the lineup to Carlos Lee, Magglio Ordonez, and Frank Thomas days. Station to station because we could instead of smart and unselfish because we had to.
Hopefully this next month becomes a whole lot of singles, stolen bases, and forced throws instead of crossing your fingers on every fastball. If we play like the Twins maybe we can equal their record and finish at least 1 game ahead of them…

mri not equal to x-rays.
the concern with a “broken wrist” (lots of bones in the “wrist” so i’m generalizing some) is not so much the break. one can play through that just fine. see dustin pedroia last year for an example. the concern is moreso with the tendons and ligaments and so on and any effects a break may have on those – which is sometimes little to none. it doesn’t appear that they had a concern about that until recently. all guessing, though.

If they thought it was a break, shouldn't they take a set of X-rays?
MRIs allow you to look at soft tissue whereas X-rays allow you to see bone. Am I’m missing something here? Why would you use an MRI to determine a break in a bone?

what's curious, of course, is that cowley quotes his source as saying things were "good so far"
now, maybe they didn’t take a bone scan or something initially and the break (if there is one) wasn’t revealed until today because it’s a small one or something. but it’s hard to think that they otherwise didn’t know about a broken wrist until today. i’m sure all will be revealed but this is a curious one so far.

It’s going to click, Jerry Meyers would always tell right-handed phenom Dexter Carter. How could it not? Carter is 6-foot-6, a fantastic raw athlete and capable of throwing a baseball in the mid-90s.However, height and velocity do not guarantee success, and in two years under Meyers at Old Dominion University, it did not click for Carter. Entering his junior season, expectations were never higher for Carter and the ODU Monarchs. The team would finish 25-27. Carter would finish his last college season with a 8.76 ERA, issuing nearly a walk per inning.
But while tools don’t always translate to results, they certainly are always noticed. So despite his junior-season struggles, the Chicago White Sox drafted Carter and his big fastball in the 13th round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft. Since then?
