2007

Don`t be fooled by that gaudy ERA in Birmingham; it came in one of the best pitchers` parks in the minor leagues and was accompanied by less-than-impressive strikeout numbers. Broadway should get to the big leagues on the strength of a plus curveball and good mechanics, but he doesn`t miss enough bats to project as more than a fourth starter. What chance he has to be more than that probably depends on his developing something with a little sink on it, because hitters are going to tee off on his middling fastball in the Cell. Failing that, he looks like more of an Off-Broadway production.

2006

In contrast to Bajenaru, Broadway deserves some extra credit relative to his statistics. For one thing, he generates a large number of groundballs, a critical skill when you`re planning on moving up to Charlotte and, eventually, Chicago. For another, he played professional ball after already having logged 117 innings at TCU, and the White Sox didn`t have him throw his breaking stuff very often. Perhaps as a result of the fatigue, his fastball velocity was erratic; we have reports of his hitting as high as 94 MPH, but he wasn`t there consistently. Broadway is a sleeper, especially in an organization that can afford to treat him carefully over the next year or two.
