Excepet against Oregon State and Fresno State in the CWS. The game I saw him pitch in Omaha was painful to watch, in other words he got hammered by Fresno. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (DraftandFollow) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/206615 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:57:47 PST <![CDATA[ Re: BA's NYPL Top 20 ]]> http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/206599/t/BA-s-NYPL-Top-20.html#reply-206599 COrrisCrimsin - I am just curious, have you ever seen Adam Warren pitch? I have seen him pitch in person in the Cape Cod League for two summers and in the NYPL.
He is an under the radar guy who has merely managed to keep getting better every year because he is such an incredibly hard worker. If you stood next to him, you would also know that he is bigger than 6'1" 200 pounds Baseball America lists him at. Two years ago I brought up his name on this site as a potential person I would like to see the Sox draft. I wouldn't bet against him making it to the majors. I am not saying he is going to be the next Curt Schilling or Josh Beckett, but I think he will continue to be successful. All he is done is win for four years at UNC and now his first year of pro ball. I think the National League scout who is quoted in BA who spoke about his intensity and ability to rise to the occasion, in terms of velocity, is on the mark. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (DoSomethingGood) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/206599 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:20:42 PST <![CDATA[ Re: BA's NYPL Top 20 ]]> http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/206557/t/BA-s-NYPL-Top-20.html#reply-206557 Bury the Hammer wrote:
I haven't read the blurb on Almanzar yet, but to me it's encouraging to see him on a list like this, because that means he was getting some praise from people that actually saw him play. It's hard to say anything positive about him when you just look at his year on paper. The blurb is not all that positive. Essentially, while he has a lot of talent, he doesn't play hard, especially on defense. Nothing we don't already know.

How about Jason Bay. 2000 22nd Round Senior sign. Although I wouldn't say he tore it up.
Off the top of my head I can think of a corner infielder who did. You may have seen him recently screaming at umpires on every called strike

He's a big-time raw tools guy but he's got a good approach, a good path to the ball, good bat speed ... He puts on a show in batting practice, but he isn't just a dead-pull guy:

I'm not surprised at the inclusion of Almanzar and I personally think it is justified. He's got a long way to go, but there were subtle improvements in his game over the course of his time at Lowell. I'll be interested to see what type of swing work has been done heading into ST next March.

Like Adam Warren at number 12? there's been literally 100s of similar mid-late college guys with middling stuff posting great ERAs in the NYPL over the past decade of which the have turned into just about 0 ML talent. Even worse maybe Kyle Conley and Ned Medchelli can anyone think of any mid round college OFs who tore up the NYPL that have turned into good ML players ? Also the young guys with crappy stats but good tools like Mr. Almanazar and such. I guess the question is was the depth really that bad that these guys made it or was the guy who wrote the list just picking an odd mix of old college guys with middling tools and good stats, older Foreign guys who really should be playing in the Full seasons if they want to have a career at this point like Paredes, Castro ect... and a Few Highly touted young guys who sucked like Almanazar or Hood.
