here's is his scouting Report thanks to Over the Monster!"Just like his last name would describe, Brandon Workman is big, tough and throws hard. He's a worker.
The 6'5" Righty has a four-seam fastball that can hit the mid-90s and a two-seamer that has some sink to it. His cutter is considered "plus," while he also adds an average curve and change to the mix. It's a pretty full repertoire for a starter, but also a nice little set list if he converts to being a reliever. Workman was a 3rd round pick back in 2007 for the Phillies.
Workman was quite effective this season and he wasn't even his team's best starter. In 99.2 innings, Workman allowed 94 hits, 23 walks and struck out 97. His ERA clocked in at 3.43 while opponents hit .248 against him.
The Sox love themselves strong, college pitchers. Last year they drafted Alex Wilson (Texas A&M, 2nd round) and Kendal Volz (Baylor, 9th), both of whom have already shown they're ready for a promotion. Workman could be the next college pitcher in the Sox system to slide in and start mowing down batters."
My Reaction on this pick:
i like this Alot like the! he is a work horse! and this give the sox a plan b if they cant sign Ranaudo. he was the 3rd best Pitcher on the long horns but The Longhorns Rotation is real Sick! another great pick by the sox and so far the run away winners of the draft!
My Grade on this Pick: A
