what is he, 26, 27?

 

There's gotta be an example of a player through the years who was a monster prospect but didn't figure it out 'til everyone had given up on him.

 

 

(not to suggest that's the case with Borchard, but you never know)

 

 

27

no way, was that Penguino?

 

 

Marlins fan from Baltimore. :lol

I posted this last night, but it's not there anymore (not insinuating a thing).

 

You don't have a guy who has 30 homerun potential as a rookie according to BA just forget completely how to hit:

 

Borchard should fit in well at the remodeled Comiskey Park, which turned into a launching pad after the fences were brought in. He?s a good bet for 30-plus homers as a rookie, with the better question being whether it happens now or in 2003. Borchard?s ability as a student will determine whether he can make better contact and get to more balls in the outfield.

and:

 

Borchard is a superior athlete who has serious power from both sides of the plate. He has an uncanny ability to come through in big situations. He has a strong arm, which he once showed by throwing five touchdown passes for Stanford against UCLA. He isn't a basestealer but runs well for a big man, circling the bases on an inside-the-park homer at Kauffman Stadium in September. The Sox face a difficult decision with Borchard. He's ready to contribute in the big leagues but they must determine if he'd benefit from at least another half-season at Triple-A Charlotte.

Now, when he was drafted I recall there being Mantle comparisons and such, and they were obviously misguided, but the only complaint is he chases bad pitches. That sounds like 3/5 of the outfielders on the team, and if the guy is going to hit double digit homers as a switch hitter, sign me up.

Where was the freaking plug for the site?! He's so banned.

 

I know! I was waiting for it, & he looked like he was about to say it..... and all he could manage was...

 

"Go Marlins!"

 

 

:plain

 

:lol

 

He choked big time.

It took me a minute to click page 5, I feel retarded.

Let me just say I was so much better during my interview. *pats self on back*

 

 

Egomaniac.

Johnson out after 5 innings. 69 pitches... good outting, gotta keep those walks down though!

I just thought I'd stop in to say hi. I am watching the game online right now. Let's win!

 

 

Where are ya posting from?

Why pull him with a 5 run lead and a low pitch count?

 

Bullpen doesn't need any more work...
