ChiSoxJon Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Saw some of you want Bart He reminds me so much of Mike Zunino, which isn't a bad thing but is it a good thing? He won't be there at 4 regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Anyone remember that New England kid with like 6 no hitters last year? Obviously the competition isn't too tough but the kid is good enough to commit to WF, no problem taking him at some point https://www.mlb.com/cut4/brennen-oxford-has-thrown-four-consecutive-no-hitters/c-231172888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunt Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 3 minutes ago, DirtySox said: Yes. Please save us Philly. If you look at the Phillies current window of contention, a college SP on the fast track to the majors makes a lot of sense for them. Singer could replace Eflin then Sixto Sanchez could eventually replace Arrieta when his contract is up. Would be a seriously interesting development for the Sox.

I'm curious what the last few years have looked like as far as late mocks go, and who the Sox end up taking. Like was their a consensus guy the publications had us on, and was that guy taken if available? I feel like the Sox have kept it close to their vest over recent years.

bmags Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Collins wasn't that big of a surprise, i remember bleacher report having us to them. A little harder at 10 and 11 since they know the board less, but I remember a lot of Corey Ray, Kyle lewis, rutherford, etc. Last year was a ton of JB Bukauskus, Jarren Kendall, Faedo, etc. and I don't remember Burger ever there.

ChiSoxJon Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Have a feeling that our top pick is really down to Singer, Madrigal, and Bohm, not all 3 of them will be gone so Schnell is out of the equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) I understand you want the best players available, but at the same time the Sox need to hit on this pick and I'm not sure I want to risk it on a pitcher (how has Fulmer worked out?). College bats are the safest route to go. I'm going to be pretty disappointed if they pass on Madrigal/Bohm. Edited May 31, 2018 by WhiteSoxfan1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think and have thought that Brady Singer is their guy. If Mize, Madrigal and Singer are somehow off the board though or if they don't want Madrigal, I could be talked into Nick Schnell at #4. If he were willing to take $3.5 million to be the #4 pick, I'd consider it. That gives them $3 million to play with. You could theoretically sign the 2nd and 3rd rounder for over $2 million a piece or really splurge at #46 and pay someone like $4 million. It's an interesting way to maybe get two top 30 talents instead of a top guy that you might not love anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for arguments sake, what guys would we be looking at with our second round if we took Schnell at #4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I mean, if I took Schnell, I'm much more likely to give 3.5 mill + out to the second round pick and go after Hankins, Gorman, Turang, or Jordyn Adams with round two. But, as someone else said, the comp teams can easily do that too. I'd much rather just go India/Bohm/Kelenic/Swaggarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
