Okay folks, I'm done for a while and probably won't be able to do this tomorrow.

Uh-oh folks, Caleb Adams aspires to be a . . . lawyer! Yikes!

From BA--appears the velocity may have improved from 2 years ago, which explains why he wasn't drafted then Like Young, Jr. RHPs Trey Teakell and Jordan Kipper give TCU additional starting options if necessary, or they could serve as strike-throwing long relievers or setup men. Both work at the bottom of the zone with a fastball that reaches 91; Kipper has an effective short slider, and Teakell’s breaking ball has improved significantly.

FOLLOW FROGS O' WAR ON TWITTER LIKE FROGS O' WAR FACEBOOK According to a report in the Awhatukee Foothills News, TCU has added a JUCO commit to its 2013 class in Jordan Kipper, currently a sophomore at Central Arizona Community college. Jordan was a teammate of Kevin Cron at Mountain Pointe High School when they won the Arizona State Championship. Jordan is a top level RHP who has been drafted twice already, in the 2011 Draft (39th Round) by the Dodgers and the 2012 Draft (30th Round) by the Phillies. He is viewed as a top flight projectable arm, 6'4" 200lbs. who has added a lot of velocity over the last three years. He throws from a high 3/4 arm slot and gets a lot of movement on his FB, CU and CH. Jordan is the 11th commit for TCU's 2013 class, the sixth committed specifically as a pitcher. Jordan had an outstanding freshman campaign with CACC, recording a solid 9-3 record through 15 appearances.

From 2 years ago (October 2012) RHP Jordan Kipper (Central Arizona) - Kipper is a tall (6'4, 210), sturdy pitcher w/ a projectable frame. He has been drafted twice before (out of high school and after his frosh season), but decided to return for his sophomore year. He has committed to TCU. Overall, he was fairly unimpressive. He came from a H 3/4, SWU that has some questions, as he has a hook in his delivery and doesn't really engage his lower half. Stuffwise, he attacked with a FB at 86-88 with run and sink, but dropped to 83-84 range in the 2nd inning. His CH was his best secondary at 80-83 that had fade and sink w/ gd armspeed which he was around the zone with. His SL was a spinner that broke gradually when right. Doesn't really have an out pitch and projects to me more as a reliever. Hoping he added some velocity.

I've wondered if it would be worth taking a flyer on him about now and seeing if a million could sway him out of his college commitment. It might be worth losing a couple of players in the 5-7 rounds to get him to sign. Some team will try to do it.

250. Alex Abbott OF 1B 6-1 195 L L Tift County Tifton GA Florida Team ELite Outstanding bat to watch

OF Alex Abbott (6-0, 185). Tifton, Ga. Tift County High School. Perfect Game’s No. 47 player in the 2014 class. Max Preps has Abbott listed as the No. 16 player in the 2014 class.

Blue Devil in Tifton and Brave in Syracuse, Alex Abbott (left) and ex-Florida baseball/football player Gavin Dickey were at the East Coast Professional Showcase. Dickey is currently a scout for the Houston Astros. (1 of 1) August 5, 2013 Abbott showcased in SyracuseBecky TaylorCNHI TIFTON — Bryce Abbott admitted that a 6:15 a.m. Sunday flight back to Georgia was quite early, but for the week he and his son, Alex, spent in New York, it was well worth it. The Abbotts were in Syracuse as Alex, an upcoming senior at Tift County High, was one of a select group of baseball players invited to the East Coast Professional Showcase. "I'm very proud," said Blue Devils head coach Kyle Kirk. "He's just a great young man who has spent a lot of time on his craft." Kirk said the Showcase was invite-only. Alex's news came quite early in the 2013 season, at the Devils' regular season debut against Crisp County on Feb. 19. Bryce Abbott said the invitation came from Baltimore Orioles scout Arthur McConnehead. It would be a day of two recommendations by McConnehead. Alex would be offered a chance to participate in the Showcase and he would also sent a referral to the O's on the player he was initially there to scout. Crisp pitcher Robert Tyler who was selected in the 28th round by the club, though he has opted to honor his scholarship to the University of Georgia. "It was great experience and great exposure for [Alex]," said Bryce. Kirk said Alex went 1-2 on the first day and while he went 0-2 in the final game, he had two sharply hit balls. "Scouts were impressed with his hitting," said Bryce, who also said that his son had done well on skills tests. The East Coast Professional Showcase featured players from east of the Mississippi River, as well as athletes from Puerto Rico. They were divided into six teams, depending on geography. Alex's team, the Braves was comprised of players from Georgia and north Florida players living in the Eastern Time Zone. Central Time Zone Floridians were members of the Mets, along with players from Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. The Puerto Ricans and south Floridians were given to their geographic opposite, the Rockies. Bryce Abbott said that about 400 MLB scouts were in attendance for the Showcase, which ran from July 31 through Aug. 3.

Looking at another prospect, it referenced Jewel that we drafted. Interesting info here: -- -- Deetz, Dean Northeastern Oklahoma A&M (OK) RHP R/R J2 6'1" 190lbs DOB: 11/29/93 | Scouting videoThe two best arms in Oklahoma this year belong to a pair of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M JC right-handers, Deetz and Jake Jewell. A redshirt freshman, Deetz isn't as refined as Jewell and missed all of 2013 recovering from Tommy John after his final season of high school, but he has better breaking stuff and a chance to make it as a starter.Deetz showed an 89-90 mph fastball and a promising slider in the fall, and his velocity has exploded this spring. He has worked at 92-94 mph and peaked at 98, and his slider has climbed into the mid-80s. He also throws an effective curveball, but his changeup will need a lot of work. Deetz has an exceptionally quick arm but is still learning to harness it. He has trouble throwing strikes and locating his pitches on a consistent basis. He's a good athlete who was a star running back at Nixa (Mo.) High, so there's hope he'll be able to figure it out.

I have a feeling that they are going to try and convert one or both of them into starters. They can always go back into the pen, but, if they have 3 pitches, would be far more valuable as starters.

If he has the changeup, I'd like to see the Angels try him in the rotation. He can always go back to a bullpen role.

I thought about LaValley, but he will most likely end up at 1B where he will mash. He shed 30 lbs to play baseball (after being a center in football), and looking at his build, may put a good chunk of that back on as he fills out.
