DirtySox Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) New BA mock. A not Bailey sighting! Quote Mick Abel Jesuit HS, Portland, Ore.RHP Notes: Abel is getting plenty of interest in the 7-14 range, and is becoming the favorite to be the first prep righthander off the board. He has a real chance to sneak into the top 10, and we’re hearing the White Sox might be one of the teams just outside that range who’s intrigued with his upside. This would certainly be a departure from Chicago’s typical tendency, as they’ve gone with a college player with their last seven first round picks and haven’t drafted a high school righthander in the first since 2001 (Kris Honel). However it’s worth noting that the White Sox took prep arms with their second and third round picks in 2019 (and a high school outfielder in the fourth round). We’ve also heard the White Sox are interested in Garrett Crochet. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/mlb-mock-draft/ Edited June 8, 2020 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: I think it was Jones who had a makeup issue at the Area Code games or maybe it was Mayson Winn. I get those two confused. Law's list noted that Winn was sent home early last summer from MLB's PDP league. His write-up is fun though. Quote 47. Masyn Winn, RHP/SS, Kingwood (TX) HS Winn is a sub-six-foot right-hander with premium stuff on the mound, touching the upper 90s in short outings, with enough effort that his head is looking away from the plate at release. I think he might be a better prospect as a hitter, as he has lightning in his hands at the plate with good loft in his finish. If he hits at all he’s going to come into power. He obviously has the arm for the left side of the infield, and if he has to move off shortstop he’d be fine at third. He might be a first-rounder this year if he were taller or if teams didn’t have concerns about him after he was sent home early from MLB’s PDP league last summer. The combination of bat speed, athleticism and arm strength is going to be hard for teams to pass up. Edited June 8, 2020 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodTim Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 If they go position player, based on the write-ups, I hope for Austin Hendrick. As a SP there are several options. I want ceiling. My over-the-moon draft would be Hendrick and Crochet falling to 47 (no way that is happening). If the Sox should have tried like hell (earlier before transactions were frozen) to get #31 from cheapass Pitsburgh, #35 from Colorado for a bad RP contract, or #36 from cheapass Cleveland who is not afraid to dump salary on is. I really hope in the future they work hard to trade for those Comp Balance picks. We've never even done that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can draft athletes all day long but it does your organization no good if They're not baseball prospects. There were a few more names from around then you could have used as examples too.

Keenyn Walker To be honest it wasnt a knock on drafting athletes. More of a commentary on how the Sox draft athletes, people complain about busts. The Sox draft more baseball players and people complain about low ceiling. Both philosophies have good and bad. I just wish the Sox would get the right one a little more often regardless of philosphy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am definitely not anti athlete when it comes to the Sox draft philosophy. I'm just reminding everyone that that also could be a dangerous road to travel.

If he falls to 11 he would be a no brainer over everyone left at this spot (assuming Tork, lacy, Martin, Gonzalez and veen are gone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let’s do everyone’s “dream won’t happen” scenario. option 1: take 1 guy underslot and you can take anyone that has been in a recent mock past 20 option 2: unlikely fall - anyone mocked 5 or later at 11, and a dream realistic 2nd rounder My dream underslot over slot is 11 with Howard then 2nd round with Bitsko option 2 is Meyer then Jared Jones/Wynn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
