pmb0928 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Been following Mackenzie Gore since I go to ECU pirates baseball games and he is our top signee. He is a lefty HS pitcher who sits in the low 90s. Projected top 15. The other day he threw a 5 inning perfect game with 15 Ks and only had 8 balls. Top LHP in the high school ranks.

SouthsideDon48 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I think the sox should draft Jake Burger if he's still available. I think he's one of the best in this year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 11:23 PM) #11 is way too high for Burger I like Burger alot he is crushing it this year to the tune of .385/.478/.761 20BB to 13K. I would love for him to be there with our second pick at 39 but i doubt it. this draft will be interesting esp if they can acquire picks from the marlins and o's if they're in it nearing the draft.

Had worked his way into top half of the first consideration. Depending on what his violations were I hope we pull the trigger on him if he slips to the second round, he was putting up some really good numbers this year.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 There's been a lot of buzz lately about Mississippi State's Brent Rooker lately. Admittedly I don't know a ton about him but his stats are eye-popping. I hope the Sox are considering him at pick #11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to Callis, Crawford, and Manuel about it this weekend. They all were in agreement that he'll move up because teams love college bats but it won't be some meteoric rise to the level of Andrew Benintendi. Rooker could be a 1st rounder. Probably won't be a top half of the draft guy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
