I just wanted to share a little something with everyone out there in case you hadn't read it. It is about our wonderful GM making yet another bone head move.
A prospect report on the guy we got for Durham...
Jon Adkins, RHP (Athletics to White Sox in Ray Durham trade)
Adkins is a 6-0, 200-pound 24-year old right-hander with a strong fastball in the low-to-mid 90s. But his track record in the minor leagues is decidedly mixed; his career ERA entering this season was 4.13, and he's allowed more than a hit-per-inning in his career, which is strange considering that he does throw hard. He doesn't change speeds well. The White Sox think his problems are correctable, but it's a long shot, and there's a very good chance they were simply ripped off. Was a ninth-round pick in 1998 out of Oklahoma State.
