J.K. is a horse. This nugget is crazy. 👀

HS pitchers are a crapshoot, but the White Sox also have the fortune of not having his HS coach abuse him.

Good to hear

[bmags 5,265]

The big question to me is what the quality is of a draftee that may be way under slot this year compared to previous year. Is it obviously a senior anymore?

[bmags 5,265]

not the blasted cardinals!

[bmags 5,265]

Oh man i hope this kid makes it to the cardinals and all their fans defend his charisma after their pissfits over acuna et al

[Squirmin' for Yermin 677]

When is our next pick so that I have another pair of underwear handy?

[PolishPrince34 80]

Interesting draft Cardinals. Big upside on their picks

[Flash 243]

Crochet, Kelley, Thompson, Dahlquist, Vera...man!

 

[fathom 5,461]

Any chance Nicolas falls to 3rd?

Over the past two years, our weakness may have become a strength.

Just wish there was young hitting talent on the big league roster

Too funny.....😁

I can’t believe how stacked we are in all phases moving forward.

Would be even better if they could sign some to long term deals.

I hope Kelley follows fellow Texan Kopech around and develops his work ethic. Second to none on the team.

uh hopefully this isn't because kopech is like rehabbing in arizona and they are teammates.

MLB Pipeline had Crochet at 18th on their list at 3.48 M slot, and the Sox took him 11 at 4.55 M slot, so if Crochet agreed to slot for 18th overall then we have 1.07M to add to 47th slot which is 1.58M plus the penalty max.  So that's 2.65M + max penalty perhaps right there for Kelly.  We will see what they do in the 3rd round (0.733M slot).  We really shouldn't have to give up the 4th and 5th rounders for this IMO.

I have to think that both picks will sign if the money is close to what they were looking for. With all of the uncertainty in the world cash is king.

Most obvious post in the world, but really nice to have two high impact arms added to the system. VERY needed right now, really injects some new life into the farm. 

I also just forgot that we didn't trade stiever. For some reason I had thought he was traded for our RFer

[Flash 243]

Is Dingler still undrafted?

[Look at Ray Ray Run 3,696]

So the draft is over for the Sox though, right? These two will take up pretty much all of their pool in regards to signing anyone else of real sneaky talent. Doesn't mean they can't find someone seniors and etc.

Great draft, but sometimes I do prefer quantity - especially with the risk of SP's. That said, these two guys have great builds and upsides and could be exciting. Role the dice enough and things will come up how you hope.

No he went 1st in the 2nd round to the Tigers.
